The ResourceSendTo block sends (moves) resources from their current location(s) to a new location. Only moving resources or portable resources accompanied by moving resources can be sent. The resource units sent by this block may be in different locations, but each location must have at least one moving resource. The agent leaves this block when the last unit arrives at the destination, so the time spent by the agent in this block is equal to the longest travel time of the unit being sent. The speed of each group of units sent together will be the speed of the slowest moving resource in that group.

The resource units are animated to move along the shortest paths from their origin to their destination. The agent is animated to remain at its current location (at a random position within the current network node).

Resources to send

The list of the names of the ResourcePool blocks whose units are being sent. One unit will be sent per pool name, so if you wish to send two or more units of the same pool, you should list that pool twice, for example, { doctors, nurses, nurses }.

Type: ResourcePool[]
Local variable: T agent — the agent

Destination is

Defines where the resources will be sent. The resources can be sent to:

Network node — resources are sent to the specified network node.
Attractor —  are sent to the specified attractor.
Agent — resources are sent to the current agent location.
Other seized resource unit — resources are sent to the current location of another seized resource (specified below in the Resource edit box).
Home of seized resource unit — resources are sent to the home location of the seized resource unit.

Name: destinationType
Type: ResourceSendTo.DestinationType
Default value: ResourceSendTo.DEST_NODE — Network node
Valid values:
ResourceSendTo.DEST_NODE — Network node
ResourceSendTo.DEST_ATTRACTOR — Attractor
ResourceSendTo.DEST_ENTITY — Agent
ResourceSendTo.DEST_RESOURCE — Other seized resource unit
ResourceSendTo.DEST_RESOURCE_HOME — Home of seized resource unit

Node

[Visible if Destination is: Network node]
The network node where the seized resources will be sent.

Type: INode
Local variables:
T agent — the agent
T unit — the resource unit

Attractor

[Visible if Destination is: Attractor]
The attractor where the seized resources will be sent.

Type: Attractor
Local variables:
T agent — the agent
T unit — the resource unit

Resource

[Visible if Destination is: Other seized resource unit]
The name of the resource pool of the unit to whose location the agent will move. If several units of the same pool are seized, the first in the list will be selected.

Type: ResourcePool
Local variables:
T agent — the agent
T unit — the resource unit

On enter

Local variable: T agent — the agent

On exit

The code executed when the agent exits the block.

Local variable: T agent — the agent

Function	Description
int size()	Returns the number of agents (waiting for their resource units to arrive at their destinations) in this block.

in
