Watch variable inside an object

Hi everyone:

Is there a way to add to the "Watch Variables" list, a variable that is inside an object?

I'd like to add the variable Trip, which is inside InQueue, how can I add it? I tried "InQueue/Trip" and "InQueue/labels/Trip" without success.

Thanks in advance!

You can just use the getlabel command:

getlabel(current, "Trip")

Thanks Matthew, but if the object is not "current"? can I reference it by the name?

Or you try to use the sampler. You write your code until you need an object's reference, then you pick the Sampler and move the pipette icon ( eye dropper element) over this object you want to point and click the left mouse button. Then a list pops up and you choose a suggestion from the items of node. After the reference is put to your code, you write on the code.

Maybe it become obvious what I tried to show in the video at time stamp 5:44 or this video at 3:37. The time stamp is already set in the link.

No, but you can reference objects by path using the node command:

node("InQueue", model())

So to get the label you'd say:

getlabel(node("InQueue", model()), "Trip")

Or you could just use the path to the label:

getnodenum(node("InQueue>labels/Trip", model()))
