The capacity is a variable in the attribute branch of the object tree.

The variable name is "maxcontent".

model().find("Processor1").as(Object).attrs.variables.subnodes["maxcontent"].value = 4;

or non dot syntax

setvarnum(model().find("Processor1"),"maxcontent",4);

A long command line is shortened by splitting into functional parts:

Object proc1 = model().find("Processor1");
proc1.attrs.variables.subnodes["maxcontent"].value = 4;

"current" is the reference of the Processor1 in its triggers

current.attrs.variables.subnodes["maxcontent"].value = 4;

when increasing the capacity of an already full processor you'll want to call receiveitem on the processor to immediately take a new item to process.

Example model with a user command setProcessCapacity attached. setprocessorcapacity.fsm

setprocessorcapacity.fsm (18.1 KiB)
