Hello ,

I want that 2 types will be store in single slot . if 1slot per bay in option for me.

can we do like that ?

Yes - what's stopping you? If you're wondering how to designate types allowed in each slot consider adding a label array to the slot and when finding a slot add the condition that the item's type is in the slot's 'storableTypes' array.

As per your guidance I applied array label by using paint slot but I am not understanding where I should map condition

please find the attached modelRack storage 22.fsm

Your code sets a label 'maxItems' to 2 for every slot. In what way is that storing two types of items in a single slot? Have I misunderstood your requirement?

How did you want to specify the types to be stored? In advance or as they arrive?

How did you want to specify slot capacity? Fixed numbers? By Type? Or by the space available - calculated for each item as it arrives.

How did you want to specify the types to be stored? In advance or as they arrive? In both case they will store. example type1&type2 store in same slot

So you're saying 2 of type 1 and 2 of type 2 - then you'll need to manage those values at reset and as you add and remove items. If you have Type 1000, then you'll need 1000 elements in each array, but if that's how you want to do it, it should work.
