Label from Different Object Flow

Hello,

I've encounter some problem when using label from another object flow. My process flow is that I register the information of destination and groupname information on the processor object flow and make sure to put it back to list. As I try to use it in the AGV process flow to pull from the same list I found some problem to use the label. That it cannot find the destination of the label I set. I've tried several ways to mention the label, but it come up with the same problem. I'm wondering is there any setting that I missed. The attachment is the model I have problem with, thank you so much for any of suggestions!

my model: label problem.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.0.9

First of all your 'Load' processes need a reference of where to load from and the text "Item Container" appears to have been copy/pasted - which is not correct - that option needs to be selected from the list of options for that field.

Then your 'move to processors' activity is trying to find a reference destination on token.item1 which is an array of two items. In this case you will need to choose one of them eg.

token.item1[1].destination.

Thank you so much! It is really helpful. After I fix this problem, I also find some problem with the split. I notice that only the first column of process flow is working. I've check the tutorial that the action of split will allow these activity to implement simultaneously. I am wondering if there is default setting that will first implement the left most process flow. Thank you!label problem.fsm

I'd recommend either putting more labels so you can check what this evaluates to at a glance:

token.item2.up.as(Object).outObjects[1].subnodes.length > 0

Or debug the code by placing breakpoints therein and looking at the local variables and watch expressions (you add these to test 'phrases') .

Again you're trying to reference item1.up but token.item1 is an array of two items.

Thank you so much! But after I did some review to the model. I found that for the destination, I have already set the label as:

current.inObjects[1].

I am wondering if it is also needed to set the location of item again as you mentioned:

token.item1[1].destination

I did some changes according to your advice. But I found that it still cannot get the label properly. After the model run for a while. It'll come up with the label does not exist error. But I'm not sure how I can solve this problem><

Thanks for your patience!
