Custom code to send patients direct to bed from arrival when a bed is available

I have a model where I want patients to move directly to bed when they arrive when there is an empty bed available. I have put the bed locations into a group which I have named "Examtables". I have tried this custom code:

Location Examtables = findObject("Examtables");

string locationGroupName = "Examtables";

int isAvailable = isLocationAvailable(Examtables, locationGroupName);

if (isAvailable == 1) {

return 1;

} else {

return 0;

}

However, I consistently get this error: Flexscript Error MODEL:/Tools/ProcessFlow/Patient Flow/Custom Code~2>variables/codeNode Unknown type Location in declaration of variable Examtables

What could be wrong with my code? I will be grateful with any assistance. Thank you.

"Unknown type Location in declaration of variable Examtables" -> "Location" is not a valid variable type. Neither does the command "isLocationAvailable()" exist (except if you set it up as a user command).

You can easily do this without coding. Try to acquire a bed with a maximum wait time set. If a bed can be acquired, send the patient there. If the time elapses (On Wait Timer Fired) send the token to a second connection.
