Re: [Repast-interest] Priority of an agent instance

[Nick C. <nic...@gm...>]

Tomas,

I think you'll have to schedule manually if the priority is not known  
until runtime. Note that if shuffle is true then that just means the  
collection of agents is shuffled before execution, that is, we shuffle  
the collection and then iterate through them calling the scheduled  
method.

See,

http://repast.sourceforge.net/docs/reference/SIM/Working%20with%20the%20scheduler.html

for some info on scheduling manually. You'd typically do this in your  
Context builder.
