Escalator is
a simple space markup element comprised in a complex space markup
element Escalator Group.
Escalator enables you to set the movement direction for an specific
escalator in a group as well as perform other tasks dynamically at
runtime using the element's functions (turn the escalator on/off, change its speed, etc.).
Name – The name of the escalator shape. The name is used to identify the escalator and refer to this shape from code.
Ignore – If selected, the shape is excluded from the model.
Visible on upper agent – If selected, the shape is also visible on the upper agent where this agent lives.
Lock – If selected, the shape is locked. Locked shape does not react to mouse clicks - it is impossible to select it in the graphical editor until you unlock it.
Direction – Sets the escalator steps movement direction (Up or Down). In the graphical editor, you will see that the arrow changes its direction in accordance with the selected option.
boolean isBlocked() - Checks whether the escalator is blocked, or not. If the escalator is blocked, the function returns true, otherwise it returns false.
block() - Blocks the escalator.
unblock()
- Unblocks the escalator.
boolean isRunning() - Checks whether the escalator is running, or not. Returns true if the escalator is running. Returns falseotherwise.
turnOff() - Turns the escalator off.
turnOn() - Turns the escalator on.
setRunning(boolean isRunning)- Turns the escalator on if
the isRunning value
is true; turns the
escalator off otherwise.
getSpeed() - Returns the speed of the escalator (in meters per second).
getSpeed (SpeedUnits units) - Returns
the speed of the escalator (in the units passed via the units argument).
Parameter:SpeedUnits units - one of the
AnyLogic speed
constants.
setSpeed() - Sets the speed of the escalator (in meters per second).
setSpeed (SpeedUnits units) - Sets the
speed of the escalator (in the units passed via the units argument).
Parameter:
SpeedUnits units -
one of the AnyLogic speed
constants.
getMovementDirection() - Returns the current movement direction for the escalator. The possible return values are: EscalatorMovementDirection.UP andEscalatorMovementDirection.DOWN
setMovementDirection(movementDirection) - Sets new movement direction for the escalators. You set the new value by passing one of the following values as the function argument: EscalatorMovementDirection.UP orEscalatorMovementDirection.DOWN.
