Re: [Jason-users] clearPercepts()

Hi Tina,

There is one data structure that records the percepts that all agents 
receive (everything that is visible to ALL agents) and then there are 
separate structures for each of the agents. This way you can model 
things that are publicly perceptible as well as things that only one or 
a group of agents can perceive (e.g. because of their location within an 
environment). To more more practical, if you wanted to completely clear 
up all percepts of all agents you need to execute clearPercepts() (to 
clearly only the global percepts) and then the individual percepts for 
each agent, e.g. clearPercepts(ag1), clearPercepts(ag2), etc. See also 
method

getEnvironmentInfraTier().getRuntimeServices().getAgentsNames()

in the API, if you need it.

Cheers,

Rafael
