How to set source "Triggers" and rack "slot assigned strategy" using code?

[j08j]

[ FlexSim 24.0.2 ]

There is my action to set source property, how can I do these step by FlexScript?

There is my code.IO by Paint Slot.fsm

Since I had set product's label and paint slot with different type, I want to assigned product into rack slot by matching label.

1.Source Triggers

2. rack property

Hey @123, why do you want to set those things programmatically? Maybe if I understand what you're trying to accomplish with your model we could suggest a more robust solution.

@Kavika F, User 123 has asked a similar question to build a whole model including customized trigger code in a previous question automatically. This thread has been deleted eventually to find users to provide other information, he has already got. I proposed to edit or write a xml file to import treenode code into a model. I added a possible solution to add a string into a node or table cell which an experienced user can transfer into a trigger node to replace an executable code.

I have solved the problem with modify the Table, but I still have the question with adding triggers and setting rack property.

@123, rack property answered Jason Lightfoot in a different thread. https://answers.flexsim.com/answers/159726/view.html and triggers are containing executable string text. You can append a limited amount of characters as a string to a node and let a nodefunction execute such a string. But if you are looking for an automatically created source code of several line of code, you can write such a code into an xml formatted text file which you can read into a treenode in your model tree. Currently you try to shape a model while it is running. This is not an intended use of a simulator tool. You can think of a multiple step approach of preparing a model automatically in a first model run. Then on further steps you add parameters and at other runs and finally you let do the experimenter several runs to return results of a model. But you won't get it to work by FlexSim alone. You need a system routine to start FlexSim or execute a run start several times after finishing some changes in your model.

Slot assign strategy is most a part of find slot query string. It is wrapped around some static code lines to assign a slot. You can parse a string by a label into your query. And you can build all other code statically, which you can transfer to any new rack object.

Thank you for your suggestion, I will try it!
