i am trying to get the who id of a single process (the process is a turtle) but i got this error : " cpu 0 is not a PROCESS error while observer running PROCESS. Called by procedure GO. Called by button go"
i need this who id because i want that only the first process of the queue (the process with max priority) can reach the "not-taken" core of a cpu if possible.
i find out that the error comes out when i ask to a sinmgle process to do an istruction. it doesn't care what action is ( i've tried to change the istruction). The problem is "ask process N [...] ".
to go
if ticks > 0 and ticks mod 10 = 0 and number-of-processes < max-number-of-processes
[
create-processes 1[
set color green
set shape "square"
set size 2
set xcor 0
set ycor 0
]
;set whonumber [who] of process current-process --> it'doesn't work.. same error below
ask process current-process [set whonumber who ] ; --> current-proces is a variable that start to 0.. yeah i've tried also to put 0 instead.. doesn't work
set mylist lput one-of processes with[who = whonumber] mylist
set number-of-processes number-of-processes + 1
set current-process current-process + 1 ;verificare se quando muore un processo l'assegnazione sia sempre sequenziale oppure debba fare -1 in caso di die
]
;TO DO : MOVE THE SPAWNED PROCESS TO THE (turtle)QUEUE IF POSSIBLE
ask processes [show who]
if any? cores with [core-taken = false] and number-of-processes > 0 [
; ask cores with [xcor = ([xcor] of one-of other processes)] [set core-taken true] ---> doesn't work.. the comand face doesn't reach the same core coord...
ask processes with[ who = [who] of process item 1 mylist] [face unused-core forward 1] ; this action in the future will be done by the first project in the turtle queue
]
tick
end
thanks for helping
The error is telling you that turtle number 0 is actually of the breed cpu, not of the breed process, but your code is treating it as if it is a process. My guess is that you have 0 as the returned number from your list, you then say ask process 0
and NetLogo is telling you there is no 'process 0'.
This sort of problem is why it is generally a bad idea to use who
numbers in your code. They are assigned sequentially as you create turtles. Instead of having who
numbers in your list, simply do a list of turtles instead.
