Waituntil, but wait maximum X amount of time

[_Busck]

Hi,

I want to use a waituntil statement but be able to ignore it and continue regardless if it is fulfilled or not when it have waited for a certain time.

So I had an idea to use something like this

waituntil (Buffer.numMu > 0 and Station.occupied = false) or timer = 0

But I can't figure out a way to create a functional timer.

Another thought I had was something like this:

var timer := 10:00
var stopTime := eventcontroller.simtime + timer
waituntil (Buffer.numMu > 0 and Station.occupied = false) or eventcontroller.simtime > stoptime

But you can't watch the eventcontroller, so this doesn't work. 

Any other ideas?

the second variant should work, you can observe simTime (see example --> exit control station)

That's interesting. I get this error when I try it:

Any idea why?

Are you in the class library? EventController is a global attribute of the frame and returns the active EventController of the model, you could try to address the eventcontroller directly (absolute address)

The value of the command "eventcontroller" was linked to the correct eventcontroller in my model. When I changed it to "root.eventcontroller" I still got the same value, but I did not get the error in my image above. 

So this "root." solved the issue somehow. Thanks for the help!

Hello,

juste in case you don't see that

waituntil condition [prio number] [wait timespan:time]
stopuntil condition [prio number] [wait timespan:time]

waituntil have a new param named "wait" to waituntil a condition or a time.

I had completely missed that, thanks for the input!
