Labels of flowitems appear while running

[ FlexSim 20.2.0 ]

Hello,

I am working on a baggage handling system, The passengers are Flowitems that work as a task executer, the bags are linked to the passengers by the label "Person" that is attached to each bag.

While the model is running, I want each bag to show the label "Person" that has the name of the passenger "PassengerTrack_1".

for example:

the bag that is linked to passenger "PassengerTrack_1" will appear visually while running a bag with the label "PassengerTrack_1" under it.

Thank you,

I added draw code to the bag to create a line from the bag to the passenger which is I think more useful.

traditional_jl.fsm

You can toggle them on/off by running this line in a script window.

drawPassengerBagConnections=!drawPassengerBagConnections;

@Haneen A You can make the name of the item appear by using the switch_hidelabel() function on the bag So you rename the bag "Passenger1" and that will appear under the bag.

switch_hidelabel(bag,0);

In the updated model attached I added the custom code activity "Label bag" as shown here:

To give this effect:

traditional_jl2.fsm

This code is exactly what I was looking for, your help is really appreciated!.

thank you Mr.Jason.

You're welcome - there is now a fully working version with corrected photo-eye positioning in this post.

Mr.Jason, may I ask where to find the code for the connection you provided?

I would like to remove it from my model but I couldn't find it anywhere, I did a script window to remove it in each run, yet it is annoying to use the script in each run.

Thank you.

You can remove it from the bag object tree under behaviour node or set the global variable to zero or toggle it in a script like this

drawPassengerBagConnections=!drawPassengerBagConnections
