Access to state of a location in people object

[ FlexSim 23.1.2 ]

Hello, I like to ask how do I access the state of the location object to use it in decide activity? I tried Model.find("Plane1/DrinksStation").as(Object).stats.state().value == 1 but it does not work. I tried calling it with the stringvalue, but it still doesnt work. Please can anyone help?

It looks like you need to pass in the state profile rank into the state() method - so for Availability that would be 1.

Could you explain further what do you mean by that? Do you mean Model.find("Plane1/DrinksStation").as(Object).stats.state(1).value like this?

This did not work with the wait for event - state change but I created another post and was answered in there instead
