User command Question

s1125413 — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 03:29:51 GMT

Hello FlexSim forums and @moehlmann_fe ,

Because there is a lot of repeated code serving the same functionality in my main code, I would like to move those parts into a User Command and call it from the main code to simplify the overall structure.

In this logic, I record the object numbers for conveyor and non-conveyor objects, and store them in the variables ProcNum and ConveyorNum, which are then used later in the main code.

However, I am not very familiar with using User Commands yet (as shown in the picture below). Are there any recommended methods or best advise to implement this?

Thank you in advance.

It looks like the only parameter the code needs is the info table. You access parameters in the command code through "param(N)", where N is the position in the parameter list.

The two values would be returned as an array. You can then assign the result to individual variables if you want.
