I would like a turtle to go to the closest patches with most turtles if a threshold of a given variable is met for 5 ticks.
My code is:
to move
let count-tick 5
if var >= 9.5 [
set count-tick count-tick - 1
if count-tick = 0 [
ask turtle [
let nearest-group min-one-of (patches with [sum turtles >= 3] in-radius 3 ) [ distance myself ]
move-to nearest-group ;; go to the biggest crowd near you
ask turtle [ ;; once there do the following
set shape "star"
set color red
]
]
]
]
end
The issue I have is that a) I am unsure how to say the patch with >= 3 turtles closest to you at the given range of 3 (attempted code above) and b) how to say once there, change your shape.
Revised to keep a permanent variable to track whether the variable is high enough 5 times in a row.
turtles-own
[ count-tick
]
; wherever you create the turtles, you need to `set count-tick 5`
to move
ifelse var >= 9.5
[ set count-tick count-tick - 1 ]
[ set count-tick 5 ]
if count-tick = 0
[ let nearest-group min-one-of (patches with [count turtles >= 3] in-radius 3 ) [ distance myself ]
move-to nearest-group ;; go to the biggest crowd near you
set shape "star"
set color red
]
end
First, you are already within an ask turtles code block from the procedure calling this move procedure. So you don't need the additional ask turtles. Look up ask in the NetLogo Dictionary, it iterates through the turtles, running all the code for each turtle in turn.
Second, you need count turtles rather than sum turtles as sum is to add up values.
Note that there is no error checking in this, you may have problems if there are no patches within radius of 3 that have at least 3 turtles.

I am a beginner with Netlogo and I am attempting to make a simple model so that when an individual is created, it must be placed in a patch that is neighboring the parent (in one of the 8 spaces). I think I need to use the one-of neighbours command and sprout but I am not sure how to do this.
Currently, I have something this in my code:
to birth-death
set npop count turtles
ask turtles [
if random-float 1.0 < dt * r [
set i random-pxcor
set j random-pycor
ask patch i j [set lpop count turtles-here]
if lpop = 0 [
hatch 1 [
set color green
set xcor i
set ycor j
]
]
]
if random-float 1.0 < dt [ die ]
]
end
Which sets a turtle at a random location, but I am not sure what to write so that when an individual is born it knows to select one of the eight neighbors of the parent site to add a new turtle.
You are close. When a turtle is born (created with the hatch command) it is created at the same patch as the parent. So you just need to move it to one of the neighbouring patches from where it already is. Instead of:
hatch 1
[ set color green
set xcor i
set ycor j
]
Use:
hatch 1
[ set color green
move-to one-of neighbors
]
I am doing boarding processes model with anti-Covid measures. I would like to know if any of you could help me.
I would like to enforce that the minimum distance between turtles will be 4 patches.
I would like to identify if there is an interference, that is, that a previous turtle occupies a seat that prevents a new agent from passing through.
I don't know how to insert this in my code:
to go
; stop when all the pessengers have found a seat
if not any? turtles with [seated? = false]
[stop]
set counter counter + 1
(foreach (sort turtles with [seated? = false] ) [a ->
ask a [
; check if we have reached the correct row of seats
ifelse [seat-row] of patch-at 1 -1 = assigned-seat-row
[
; only seat the passenger if he/she has stored the luggage OR if we don't take luggages into account
ifelse luggage-store-ticks = 0 or storing-luggage-takes-time = false
[
let seat patch-at 1 -1
set xcor [pxcor] of seat
set ycor assigned-seat-number
set seated? true
]
[
set luggage-store-ticks luggage-store-ticks - 1
]
]
[
let passenger-ahead one-of turtles-on patch-ahead 1
ifelse passenger-ahead != nobody
[
set speed [speed] of passenger-ahead
if xcor != airplane-door-x-cor
[fd speed]
]
[
set speed default-speed
fd speed
]
]
]
])
end
You could extend your existing patch-ahead 1 to also look at the patches 2, 3 and 4 ahead. But I think it would be easiest to use in-cone 5 10 or similar. That will look ahead in a cone shape, 10 degrees on either side of the heading and a distance of 5. So you could do something like:
let potential-blockers turtles in-cone 5 10
let blocker min-one-of potential-blockers [distance myself]
That should (not tested) find the closest turtle approximately in front and name it "blocker" so that you can do things like check if it's far enough away, match speed (see the basic traffic model in the NetLogo models library)
I want to extract a node with highest degree centrality from the network. I don't want to extract a node with max links only. I want to extract the node along with the nodes adjacent to it.
Below is the code. In this code, I have loaded a network using nw extensions.
extensions [nw]
turtles-own [ explored? ]
to setup
ca
crt 25
ask turtles [fd random 15]
load-graph
extract_deg
end
to load-graph
let filename user-file
if (filename != false) [
nw:load-graphml filename [
set shape "circle"
set size 1
]
nw:set-context turtles links
]
end
to extract_deg
let n turtles with [my-links = max [count link-neighbors] of turtles]
ask n [show other turtles network:in-link-radius 1 turtles]
end
to layout
ask turtles [ set size sqrt count my-links ]
layout-spring turtles links 0.5 2 1
ask turtles [
facexy 0 0
fd (distancexy 0 0) / 100 ]
end
The code below will choose one of the nodes with largest degree (just remove one-of if you want all of them), turn it red and make its network neighbours green.
You don't need the expression [my-links = max [count link-neighbors] of turtles], standard NetLogo includes the very useful with-max primitive. However, I think your construction would have worked if you had counted my-links (like let n turtles with [count my-links = max [count link-neighbors] of turtles]). Then you have some syntax errors in the next line (the extension is nw and you don't need the turtles.
to extract_deg
let maxk-set one-of turtles with-max [count my-links]
ask maxk-set
[ set color red
ask other nw:turtles-in-radius 1 [set color green]
]
end
Can Netlogo set up an infinite number of turtles for only one specific patch? And the patch is road setting. This link is the image of that specific patch. https://i.stack.imgur.com/DdBF0.jpg And the following is the sample code. However this is not compleated.
turtles-at 0 0 of patch min-pxcor 0 ; this is not compleated
Not exactly sure what you're asking, but there is no limit to the number of turtles that can be on a patch (save the limit imposed by your computer's memory).
Also, the code you're probably looking for is something like:
turtles-on patch 0 0
for the left patch and
turtles-on patch 1 0
for the right patch.
As per Bryan's answer, there is no theoretical restriction on the number of turtles in a single patch, although your computer will have a limit- the more turtles in your model (on any patch) the more memory your model will use. So the short answer is, as far as I know, there is no way to just say to Netlogo, "Spawn infinite turtles on this patch."
If, however, by infinite you really just want enough turtles that you won't run out of them for specific interactions, you could probably get by either by just spawning a large number on that patch or by just sprouting more as needed (my preference).
For the first option, you can have a bunch of turtles on the same patch:
to setup
ca
reset-ticks
ask patch 0 0 [
sprout 10000
]
ask patch 0 0 [
print count turtles-here
]
end
Alternatively, if your turtles on the patch get used up or become unavailable in some way, just have more sprout as needed to keep your numbers high enough for what you're trying to do. Here's an example where red turtles walk to a patch with "infinite" (1000) blue turtles, link to one of the blue turtles, and take them away. However, at the end of each tick, the "infinite" patch checks if there are fewer than 1000 turtles-here. If there are, it spawns enough turtles to bring that count back up to 1000. Try this code in a new file:
to setup
ca
reset-ticks
infinite-sprout
source-sprout
end
to go
ask turtles with [ color = red ] [
fd 0.5
if any? ( turtles-on patch-ahead 1 ) with [ color = blue ] [
create-link-with one-of turtles-on patch-ahead 1 [
tie
]
set color green
]
]
ask turtles with [color = green] [
move-to patch-right-and-ahead 90 1
if pycor = max-pycor [
ask link-neighbors [
die
]
die
]
]
infinite-sprout
source-sprout
tick
end
to source-sprout
ask patch max-pxcor 0 [
if not any? turtles-here and random 3 = 1 [
sprout 1 [
set shape "arrow"
set color red
set heading 270
]
]
]
end
to infinite-sprout
ask patch 0 0 [
if count turtles-here < 1000 [
sprout ( 1000 - count turtles-here) [
set shape "circle"
set color blue
]
]
]
end
Then set up your interface like this:
If you run that model for a while, you will see that at the end of every tick, the count turtles of patch 0 0 is brought back up to 1000, effectively giving you an infinite source of turtles that you can "use up." Does that accomplish what you need?
I have two turtle breeds who populate each sides of the window and then only move round in there own side.
The problem I am having is that I want to constantly check to see if one singular instance of a turtle from each breed are both on the same y coordinate. And if this returns true i want both of those turtles to stop, but for all other turtles from each breed to carry on moving. I know you can identify a turtle by there unique ID but i don't know how to use this and how to use the correct syntax.
The best way to describe this in pseudo code would be
ask turtles [
if breed1 turtle ycor = breed2 turtle ycor
[ stop breed1 turtle and breed2 turtle ] ]
UPDATE
Tried getting the code to work but still nothing happening. Not sure if it is the way the procedure is wrote or the number I have chosen for the threshold.
to move-turtles
ask turtles [
if not any? turtles with [ breed != [ breed ] of myself and abs (ycor - [ycor] of myself) < 1 ]
[
ask redteam with [pcolor = green - 3] [
right random 360
forward 1
]
ask redteam with [pcolor != green - 3] [
back 1
]
ask blueteam with [pcolor = green - 2] [
right random 360
forward 1
]
ask blueteam with [pcolor != green - 2] [
back 1
]]
]
end
Note that "same coordinate" is actually somewhat ambiguous. If one turtles ycor is 5.0000001 and another's is 5.0000000, are they at the same coordinate? Because of this, you should check to see if their coordinates are within a certain amount of each other.
Also, the best way to stop moving is to simply not move. So, here is a possible go procedure that would do what you want:
to go
ask turtles [
if not any? turtles with [ breed != [ breed ] of myself and abs (ycor - [ ycor ] of myself) < threshold ] [
move ;; replace with your move procedure or code
]
]
end
Here, each turtle checks to see if there are any turtles of a different breed who's ycor is within threshold of their own ycor. If there are not, then it moves. Otherwise, it does nothing.
The myself stuff is the most confusing part here, so I recommend reading the docs.
