how to find neighbors patches of the desired turtle and not turtle's own neighbors. so to find out empty neighbors of the specific turtle as seed or stationary turtle and ask other turtles to go there and stop.
I am using neighbors with command but it always sees its own neighbors. Also want to use (fd 1) and not (move-to) command
like this.
ask turtles with [stationary? != true and seed? = false] [
let empty-patches neighbors with [not any? robots-here with [stationary? = true]]
ifelse any? empty-patches
[ let target one-of empty-patches
face target
fd 0.1
]
[
set stationary? true
set localized? true
stop
]
]
end

I am trying to compare the local variables of a turtle, with its neighbors and trying to find out the total number of neighbors which match this criterion
total-nearby = total number of neighbors.
I am checking according to the color of the turtles, if the color is different, then I will check for the attributes/variables
Error: A patch can't access a turtle or link variable without specifying
which agent
CODE:
turtle-own[
total-similar-nearby ; sum of previous two variables
total-other-nearby
total-nearby
native
language
income
maritalstatus
]
;;then assigning multiple number of turtles with different values to the local variables.
ask turtles[
repeat total-nearby
[
if color = [color] of one-of neighbors
[set d1 d1 + 1]
if color != [color] of one-of neighbors
[
if native = [ native ] of one-of neighbors
[set a 1]
if language = [ language ] of one-of neighbors
[set b 1]
if income = [ income ] of one-of neighbors
[set c 1]
if maritalstatus = [ maritalstatus ] of one-of neighbors
[set d 1]
] set p a + b + c + d
if p >= 50 [set d1 d1 + 1]
]
]
neighbors is a patch variable, not a turtle variable. So, the turtles in your model use the primitive neighbors, they are querying an agentset of patches when they want to query an agentset of turtles. There are several ways for turtles to evaluate nearby turtles, such in-radius or in-cone, but in this case if you're wanting the turtles that are specifically on the patches directly adjacent, you could use the other, turtles-on, and neighbors primitives to get what you're looking for. For a simple example, have a look at this toy model:
to setup
ca
ask n-of 300 patches [
sprout 1 [
set color one-of [ red blue ]
]
]
reset-ticks
end
to go
ask turtles [
; Make an agent-set of turtles on neighboring patches
let nearby-turtles other turtles-on neighbors
; If there are any turtles on neighboring patches,
; assume the color from one of them.
if any? nearby-turtles [
set color [color] of one-of nearby-turtles
]
]
tick
end

I am trying to spawn turtles 5 patches away from each other but I'm not sure how, right now they all spawn on green patches (I don't want them to spawn on brown ones) and I'm not sure how exactly you control the distance between the spawning of turtles, thanks.

Have you read this question: NetLogo Create turtle at regular distance from each other?
Anyway, I thought that showing you some working functions would be helpful, here I made two alternatives, sprout-distanced1 and sprout-distanced2, you can test them both by alternating which line is commented; I also added a slider called Min-Distance to control the turtles spacing.
sprout-distanced1 uses the keyword carefully with is basically a try-else block, it's there in case that the turtle doesn't find a patch distanced enough to move to, in which case rather than sending a warning the turtle will stay where it is and print its distance to the closest turtle.
sprout-distanced2 uses a while loop, in case that the turtle doesn't find a place to move to that is at least Min-Distance from another turtle it will reduce the minimum radius by a small amount until it can distance itself from other turtles, if it had to move to a patch where it is less than Min-Distance away from other turtles it will log the distance at the Command Center.

Choose whichever suits better your model.
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
I want to create turtles, which they place in a desired area with random coordinate:
they should place in the white area and in middle of it in a line. in other words, in the top regtangle, their xcor should be random and their ycor is 10. in the right regtangle, their ycor should be random and their xcor is 10 and so on.
When you create turtles, you can give them instructions such as their location. For example:
create-turtles 1 [ set ycor 10 ]
Alternatively, you can sprout the turtles from the relevant patches and their location will already be set. For example:
ask n-of 5 patches with [pcolor > 1] [ sprout 1 ]
to place-on-color [#color]
let _patches (patches with [pcolor = #color])
ask turtles [
move-to one-of (_patches with [not any? turtles-here])
]
end
Add error checking if you may have too many turtles. (Or remove the unique occupancy constraint if you don't want it.)
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.
