I would like to give the user a button that allows them to skip ahead 1 hour in the simulation and then continue running the model if play is clicked. The code below allows the user to skip ahead an hour, however they are unable to resume the simulation when play is clicked.
double nextHour = time() + 60;
pauseSimulation();
getEngine().runFast(nextHour); //Runs the model to the next hour when button is clicked
Any help much appreciated.
Try adding runSimulation() after the last line. But probably, that does not work. In that case:
Create a dynamic event (not the normal event) with the line runSimulation() in its action code.
In the button code, before the runFast... line, write create_MyDynamicEvent(1, HOUR). This will trigger the even 1 hour later and unpause the model.
AnyLogic Support suggested the following solution, which I have used:
Unfortunately, Ben's suggestion didn't didn't work; it seems to cause an issue when pauseSimulation() is used.

So I have a problem where in my SFC it jumps to an inital step but the commands written in the step would not register.
At the end of the SFC a step inputs 5 into A_Status(INT).
The very next transition checks if the value of A_Status is 5.
No problems so far, but after the transition when it jumps to the start of the SFC,
where the first step is supposed to input 0 into A_Status, A_Status stays at 5.
The cycle time of my program is 100ms. I have tried slowing the cycle but it didn't work.
What seems to be the problem here? Maybe the same variable used in such a sequence just doesn't work?
Reply would be greatly appreciated.
You don't mention if you write the values during Entry/Exit or in the SFC step actions. But beware, that on some occasions code from a previous step can be executed later than code in the new step.
Here is a link that explains the call order and why sometimes parts of the code is executed twice:
https://infosys.beckhoff.com/english.php?content=../content/1033/tc3_plc_intro/45035999420423563.html
I've had succes with adding the following code in all the actions to prevent this from happening.
IF STEP_NAME.x THEN // Only execute this while the step is active.
// Insert code here.
END_IF
I'm trying to create an agent statechart where a transition should happen every day at 4 pm (except weekends).
I have already tried:
1. a conditional transition (condition: getHourOfDay() == 16)
2: A timeout transition that will "reinsert" my agent into the chart every 1 s and check if time = 16.
My code is still not running, does anyone have any idea how to solve it?
This is my statechart view. Customer is a single resource that is supposed to "get" the products out of my stock everyday at 4pm. It is supposed to happen in the "Active" state.
I have set a timeout transition (from Active-Active) that runs every 1s.
Inside my "Active" state in the "entrance action" i wrote my code to check if it is 4 pm and run my action if so.
I thought since i set a timeout transition it would check my condition every 1s, but apparently it is not working.
Your agent does not enter the Active state via an internal transition.
Redraw the transition to actually go out of the Active state and then enter it again as below:
Don't use condition-based transitions, for performance reasons. In your case, it also never triggers because it is only evaluated when something happens in the model. Incidentally, that is not the case at 4pm.
re your timeout approach: Why would you "reinsert" your agent into its own statechart? Not sure I understand...
Why not set up a schedule or event with your recurrence requirement and make it send a message to the statechart: stateChart.fireEvent("trigger!");. In your statechart, add a message-based transition that waits for this message. This will work.
Be careful to understand the difference between the Statechart.fireEvent() and the Statechart.receiveMessage() functions, though.
PS: and agree with Felipe: please start using SOF the way it is meant, i.e. also mark replies as solved. It helps us but also future users to quickly find solutions :-) cheers
I have created task on controller and there is loop which is loading for 100 times.
Now I want to load it for 25 times and pause that loop for 1 min and after that it will execute next 25 items same for next 25.
I have checked it with sleep but its not working.
Can you please advise me if is there any way on plugin event or any other method.
Thanks
This is actually unrelated to Joomla! Since you're creating a long running process you need to start it with something else than a browser. A CRON job is a good idea here if you want to execute this operation multiple times. Otherwise it can run via command line. Make sure the max_execution time setting of PHP does not cause any trouble.
If you still need this within Joomla please have a look at the CLI documentation.

I did some research into this and couldn't really find anything, so if this is a repetitive question I apologize. but anyway I have made a CCB file in CocosBuilder and I would like to start the timeline, for example, at one second instead of playing from the beginning. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for the help guys.
Edit: i would like this to be done in the code.
I am using 2.2.1 Cocos2DX version. I think there is no option to play it from given interval. But you can tweak yourself to get it done. (Not simple one)
You have to go to CCBAnimationManager and there you get "mNodeSequences".
It is dictionary and you get difference properties there like "rotation position etc..."
values there.
Internally AnimationManager reads this value (These values are specified in your CCB)
and puts in runAction queue.
So you have to break it as you want.(Ex. 5 min timeline you have. But you want to start
from 1 min then you have run first 1 min Actions without delay and for remaining you
have properly calculate tween intervals.
It's long procedure and needs calculation. If you don't know any other simpler way try this. If you know pls let us know (Post it).
I have problem with setTimeout.
In all major browsers it works fine but not in IE...
I'm creating a facebook app- puzzle. When player press Start button, the timer starts count his time of playing one game.
At the beginning I used setInterval to increase timer but with cooperate of facebook scripts it delayed about 2 seconds at the end of game. Then I found on stackoverflow trick to increase accuracy of timer: setInterval timing slowly drifts away from staying accurate
And again- without facebook it worked fine, no delays were shown. With facebook it still has delays.
Now to condensate info that might interest You:
When user clicks Start then I create new Date as startTime.
When user ends game script creates finalTime new Date, then substract finalTime - startTime.
In code there is setTimeout:
(...)
f : function() {
var sec_time = Math.floor((puzzle.nextAt - puzzle.startTime)/1000);
$('.timer').html(sec_time);
if (!puzzle.startTime) {
puzzle.startTime = new Date().getTime();
puzzle.nextAt = puzzle.startTime;
$('.timer').html('0');
}
puzzle.nextAt += 100;
puzzle.to = setTimeout(puzzle.f, puzzle.nextAt - new Date().getTime());
}
(...)
when user place on correct place last puzzle piece then I call clearTimeout(puzzle.to);
I have now 2 issues:
not accurate time, in IE it can be even 7 second difference!
in IE during game it works only when user have mousedown... :/
To drag puzzles I use jQuery drag & drop plugin.
At least very helpful info will be how to achieve accurate timer.
You should put your scripts in jQuery's ready function and not at the bottom of the page, as the Facebook SDK is loaded asynchronously and may impact timed executions if they're initiated at the bottom of the page.
As for timing, you're gonna see inaccuracy of between 15ms and 45ms in IE7 depending on other JS executions on the page. Your 100ms timeout will drift badly because of this. Better to record a start time and build a timer with a higher polling frequency than needed and do a comparison between start time and 'now' in each cycle to determine what to do next.
