Anylogic: How to you make a random agent move to from state to another?

I want to randomly select a person (agent) that is in state1 and instruct this random agent to move to state2. I also want to change the random agent's var1(variable) value to "true".

I think that I should use randomWhere(population,condition) to select the random agent, but I do not know how to code it.

Solution

  • Assume you have an Agent type MyAgentType with a state chart statechart and a msg-based transition between state1 and state2 that triggers upon the String "change", and the agents live in a population myPopulation, then you can do:

    MyAgentType agentInState1 = randomWhere(myPopulation, p->p.statechart.isStateActive(MyAgentType.state1));
agentInState1.statechart.fireTransition("change");
agentInState1.var1 = true;
