CREATE OBJECTS IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create objects in different slots.
I use the Create Object object in my process flow, but I cant find a way to send the objects in diferent positions.

Is there any way to achieve this ?

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.0.10

Create the object somewhere else first. Then assign the slot to the object. Then move the object into the storage object the assigned slot belongs to. It's functionally the same as if the object was created in the slot if there is no delay.

Assigning the slot and getting the corresponding storage object is already demontrated in your previous question.

I can create the objects through a source in my 3D model, however how I can assign for each object created the slot. For one object is okay, I am getting confused when it comes to multiple objects.

WIth "create the object somewhere else" I meant to place the item in another object (or the model itself).

Afterwards you assign the slot and move the object into the storage object.

/**Custom Code*/
Object current = param(1);
treenode activity = param(2);
Token token = param(3);
Object item = param(4);
Array flowitems = param(4);
treenode processFlow = ownerobject(activity);
 
 
int sourceLabel = gettablenum("Task", 1, 2);
treenode destinationStation;
if (sourceLabel >= 4) {
    // Find the slot with the matching label
    Storage.Slot slot = Storage.system.findSlot("WHERE Position == "+sourceLabel,0,token);
    Storage.Item storageItem = Storage.Item(token.item);
    storageItem.assignedSlot = slot;
    destinationStation = slot.storageObject;
}
return destinationStation;

In the move object i scripted it like that. It works fine if only one item is created. However, I dont know how I can send the second item to another position. I select my positions based on values from my global table "Task"
