In my model, I acquired an operator, and next I want to set his/her state to busy. I tried using a custom code block but when I run the program the operator's state stays busy. I have tried changing the object reference but no luck.
In one of my models I used Custom Task =>TaskType Utilize and FreeOperator because I wasn't sure for how much time my operator is going to be busy. Maybe this could help.
Assuming your reference to the operator is correct, operator's state is being set to busy, but then he's being set back to idle most likely by his own internal mechanics. Objects do a lot of state changing on their own and setting an object's state only overrides their current state until the object changes it again. For instance, giving an operator any task will change its state.
This means you can either do what was suggested in the answer by @Dawid Dabal or you'll need to place Set Object State activities everywhere that the state gets changed in order to keep it in a busy state.
I have struggled with this also and tried exactly the same solution. I think that Brenton pointed me to a solution with using he TSDelay activity where you can set the state. Maybe this could be a solution for you as well.
