How to Open/Close Specific Ports on a Combiner

I'd like to know if there is a specific way/command to open/close individual ports on a combiner.

Ultimately what I'm trying to accomplish is forcing the model to accept items to the combiner in sequential order (2,3,4,5... etc.). Right now it takes the first one that's available, instead of waiting for its predessecor.

Hi @Thalias

As I know. There is no way to open or close the specific port of an object.

Two ways I suggest to solve this problem.

1. Try to open/close the output of upstream object as an order you expect.

2. Try to use ProcessFlow and List to recieve items from different upstream objects by specific order.
