question

Hey @Liam J3

rackrestoreitem() does not actually "restore" an item. It just creates a new item in whatever area you specify. FlexSim does not save the information of deleted items.

Since the new item does not have a reference to the deleted item, its creation time is whenever the command was called. This time is accessible in the tree for that item though, so if you save the creation time of the object that is going to be deleted before deletion, you can set the newly created object's creation time by creating a global variable and then using code like this.

Note: The global variable will be called itemCreation, and the item will be a called Sphere1, and will be located in Rack1.

Before deletion, I assign the global variable:

itemCreation = stats_creationtime(model().find("Rack1").find("Sphere1")).value;

and then when I create the new item, I assign it like this:

stats_creationtime(model().find("Rack1").find("Sphere1")).value = itemCreation;

I hope this answers your question! Please tag me @Braydn T if you need any more clarification.
