Move For

The Move For statement functions like a Move statement with the additional flexibility to specify the amount of time required to move an Entity.

Syntax

Move For <time>

Examples

Move For 0

Move For 2.5 + CleanupTime

Move For N(8, .5) + 3 sec

Parameters

<time>

The length of time the system takes to execute the move. This expression is evaluated whenever the statement is encountered. If no time unit is specified, the Move With function defaults to ProModel's General Information setting.

Remarks

A move-time of zero causes events for other Entities occurring at the same simulation time to be processed before any additional logic is processed for the current Entity. If no move-related statement (Move For, Move On, Move With) is specified, the Entity instantly enters the next Location and immediately begins executing that Location's operation logic.

This statement is valid in queue move logic and operation logic. Move For may be encountered only once by an Entity within the same logic.
