I am creating a script to add racks, it is working well but is there a way to add the racks in the group "Racks" to an address scheme?

You need to set the value of the rack's variable node marked with yellow to an addressing scheme. Then run "function_s(rack, "applyProperties", "AddressScheme")", where "rack" is a pointer to the rack.

If zone and aisle are used, create the nodes marked in blue and set their values accordingly.

Bay, Level and Slot ID settings are found higher up in the variables.

You should just be able to use something like this script:

Array racks=Group("Racks").toFlatArray();
int aisle=1;
while (racks.length){
    Object rack=racks.shift();
    rack.setProperty("AddressScheme","Scheme1");
    rack.setProperty("AisleID",aisle++);
}

Model attached. setRackProperties.fsm

Since the AisleID property doesn't remain set I'll send this in as a bug,

Even if you set the aisle in the objects property table it resets when the model resets it looks like it is the only property that does this
