Decision point at conveyor to split 50%-50%.fsmHello team,

I need to understand how decision point works to split the flowitem on the conveyor 50%-50% like one flowitem goes on 1st downstream and next flowitem goes to 2nd downstream and third goes to the 1st downstream, also, what if we decide to convey flowitem of group of 5 for each downstream path?

You can you the output stats of the decision point to check if it is divisible by 2:

Thanks Jason for quick reply,

I understood the concept for alternative path for even and odd bottle.

But, What if I want to split the same no. of bottles in a group.

Let's say I need 4 bottles on 1st downstream and next 4 bottles on 2nd downstream. How do I do that?

Don't we just divide the output value by 4?

Jasom,

Your Formula: Math.fmod(current.stats.output.value,2)>0

___________________________________________________

If I use: Math.fmod(current.stats.output.value,4)>0

______________________________________________

But, what I need to change in the formula so I can have patterns like as below? Note: I have moved the bottle by copied and paste. It is not in the simulation yet.
