Send to port by percentage when there aren't matching item types

send-to-port-by-percentage-when-there-are-not-matc.fsm

Hello,

I'd like to send items from a processor to one of three queues by matching item types, but whenever there is an item ready to be released from the processer that doesn't have any matching item types in the downstream queues I need to send it to one of the queues by percentage rather than by the first available queue. The best way I can think to do this is to edit the code of the matching item types flow option. I started looking at the code behind the matching item types flow option but since I haven't done much actual code writing in Flexsim I'm struggling to follow the code. Can someone please help me edit the code to follow the logic I want when there are no matching item types? My model is attached.

Thanks.

After looking at the code again and watching items move through the code line by line I was able to solve my issue. I copied the code from the by percentage flexscript over the bottom portion of code in the matching items type flexscript so that if there are no matching item types it goes to a queue by percentage rather than by first available.
