My third source to start after the second source is finished

hotsmoke11192018.fsmI have three separate sources working in my flow. I want my third source to start after the second source is finished. I was thinking about using "Wait for Event" but I am not sure if this is the best way to do it. I attempted to use the Wait for Event in the Case Up Process but I am not so sure i set it up correctly. I have added my model so you can review. What is the best way to trigger my third source to start after the second source has finished?

FlexSim 18.1.1

@Tam P you can also close the output of the source on exit and when it needs to start producing, open the output

you can try the combination of the commands of stopobject and resumeobject. These commands works outside the objects which you want to stop, because a stopped object can't do anything at all. You would use a not involved object to control the time stamps when you stop or resume by messages.
