Hello.

I wanna access control area's max allocations value and change the value using custom code when an event occurs on waypoints.

How to get control area's max allocations and change the value?

※For reference, I have tried two methods below, but it does not work.

Object ca_1 = model().find("ControlArea1");

1) setvarnum(ca_1, "Max Allocations", 12);

2) ca_1.variables.maxAllocations = 12.00;

Did you use 'setvarnum(ca_1, "maxAllocations", 12);' ?

You can find the variables name in tree menu like attached picture.

Thank you for your reply.

I tried the method you said, but it didn't work.

I tried several methods, and the following method changed the value.

treenode ca_1 =model().find("/AGVNetwork/ControlArea13>variables/maxAllocations");

ca_1.value = 12;

Good!

Also, you can find the "Max Allocations" field in the value settings of the quick property tab with a static value.

Or treenode ca_1 = model().find("ControlArea1");

ca_1.variables.maxAllocations.value = 12;
