I am using a photoeye to control a motor. When blocked for two seconds it should shut the motor off, when cleared for 1 second it should turn the motor back on. The photoeye indicates its blocked but the conveyor does not stop. I am getting the following message from the system console "time: 1205.277804 exception: FlexScript exception: MODEL:/PE1>variables/localType/blockTrigger". What's going on?
Do you mind posting a model so that we can see the full context of the error?
The exception is being thrown because you are calling the stop motor on conveyor.motor. conveyor.motor looks for the motor connected to the current conveyor segment on which the trigger fires. And in your model the motor is not connected to that current segment. So instead of using the default conveyor.motor, use the center port connection that you made and call the stop motor on current.centerObjects[1], That should work.
