In the code window for some triggers on task executers several values are passed in, one being taskType. It is a numerical value, but I need to translate it to a textual description. Where can I find this translation; I do not see it in the Users manual. Thank you.
Manual Reference > Task Sequences > Task Types - Quick Reference
The task types are predefined macros.
Path to the flexScript macros: MAIN:/project/exec/globals/fsmacros
If you want to get the value from the makro text, then you open a skript console and write the makro into the console. You press the green execute arrow and you get the value printed.
Thanks. I understand they are macros and I did find this list. However, if the numeric values passed to the trigger correspond to these task types then the first and subsequent transport requests are as follows:
8 StopRequestBegin
1 Travel
11 Message
8 StopRequest Begin
3 Unload
Seems like it should be 1-2-1-3 Travel, Load, Travel, Unload.
Other tasks don't make sense either.
The standard transport task sequence is
travel - frload - break - travel- frunload. A break task is responsible to execute the break funktion, if the taskexecuter is able to load more items.
A message is a nice feature to communicate with the objects where you load item from or to unload to, because it isn't already set, which taskexecuter will exactly do the task sequence, when you write it.
StopRequestbegin and finish are linked to utilize task sequences, where you let a processor go into a state of waiting until an operator is arriving. That is a more advanced stuff.
Moveobject is a shortcut to prevent offset travels in a load or unload task.
Pickoffset/ placeoffset let a taskexecuter travel only some parts of a complete offset travel for example do first the x-direction then y-direction.
Setnodenum is nice to change a variable value from a task.
Nodefunction let a flexscript code get executed to change for example the shape of an taskexecuter.
