I want to use a Separator to split an item into 5 items and set the ItemType and Color. When I use Set ItemType and Color in OnExit menu, it gives me the option duniform (1,5). When I run the model, the separator produces 3 of itemtype 1, 1 of itemtype 2 and 1of itemtype 4. I want to see all 5 itemtypes are produced every time. What is my option? Do I need to enter a flexscript at OnExit? Thanks
duniform is a random statistical distribution. Please read in the command manual. The result is a random chosen discrete value in the range of low to high value. The option consist of setting the item type by an incremented label of the separator. You set the label OnEntry trigger to the value 1. OnExit you assign this label value as type to the item. Then you increment the label value by 1 in the OnExit trigger a picklist option.
I made a sample model of your question. I made the separator connected five output port and custom script in the 'send to port' trigger.
I think you will be able to make the model to use one output port.
I applied Jorg's method, but still the separator produces one item type in 5 colors rather than 5 item types in 5 colors. See the Separator1 in the attached model. Is the code for incrementing label "itemcounter" correct?
There are some mismatches in your triggers:
OnEntry: Object is current not item
OnExit: add a new action - Set Item Type
you move this action on top of the list. The actions OnExit are:
