RE: [Dsol-java] how to listen to fireEvent?

[Peter H.M. J. <p.h...@tb...>]

Hi Dirk,

Step 1: make sure youre vehicle implements the EventListenerInterface
Step 2: crane.addListener(someVehicule,CONTAINER_RELEASED_EVENT);
Now your vehicule is subscribed to the CONTAINER_RELEASED_EVENTS. More on
the addListener method is described in
http://www.simulation.tudelft.nl/dsol/event/apidocs/nl/tudelft/simulation/ev
ent/EventProducer.html

Does this solve your question?

Subject: [Dsol-java] how to listen to fireEvent?

Dear all,

I've made a "crane" that delivers "containers" every 1..5 timeunits. These
containers should be picked up by several "someVehicles". I would like to
have my crane fire an event, CONTAINER_RELEASED_EVENT. The code for this I
found in the tutorial, section 4.2:

...
public class QuayCrane extends EventProducer {
	public static final EventType CONTAINER_RELEASED_EVENT = new
EventType(
			"CONTAINER_RELEASED_EVENT");
...

private void releaseContainer () {
...
this.fireEvent(CONTAINER_RELEASED_EVENT, this.simulator.getSimulatorTime());
... }
} // end class

My question:

How do I get an instance of my someVehicle to listen to this event? The
events in the tutorial are (so it seems) only used by the Tallies. For this
moment I;m not interested in the prioritization of my someVehicles; I just
want them to respond.

Is this the proper mechanism to create interaction between objects in the
simulation??
