How to set control center?

I have two sources. I set up a queue to serve as the control center. The leftsource cannot be detected by the control center, so the only result is a red box.

Figure 1 is the placement of my entire machine.

Pictures 2 and 3 are what I set up. I hope leftsource can produce blue boxes and rightsource can produce red boxes.

Figure 4 is the control center I set.
Please tell me if there is any problem

"LeftSource" creates items based on an inter-arrival time. The first item creation would happen instantly, but an item should appear if you run the simulation for some time.

You removed the header from the entry trigger. Without it neither "current" nor "item" are defined variables. And apart from "content" none of the commands you use are valid FlexScript commands.

Based on the naming of the 'commands', none of those functions can/should really be done in the entry trigger. Where an item is send is decided in the "Send to Port" field.

If you haven't done so yet, I'd suggest you read up on port-connections and writing logic in the documentation.

Or I can change it to only one source, and then I want it to produce 300 red and then 300 blue. What should I do?

You can add labels to the source table and color the items according to them in the "On Creation" trigger.
