Duplicate Global Table using Flexscript

[ FlexSim 23.2.2 ]

I am building a user library which has some in built tables. The tables auto-load as the user imports the library into the model. I have an object with a dropscript and I am trying to duplicate the library global tables in the model with different names when the user drops that object onto the 3D model. I want to be able to duplicate the tables (instead of creating new ones) so that all the on reset code gets copied to the new tables.

Hey @Rohan V3, you can use Flexscript to copy the Global Table's node in the tree. This will copy over all variables, including the On Reset trigger code.

string path = "Tools/GlobalTables/GlobalTable1";
treenode gt = Model.find(path);
treenode copy = gt.copy();
copy.name = "newTable";

You can replace the "path" variable with the path to your global table. This code will find the node and copy it. You can then rename.

Haha thanks! Pretty simple :)

This sounds like the labels could be stored as tables on the objects - something to consider.
