State machine: event triggered by elapsed time

Solved!
Go to solution

I have a program where I would like one of the events to start when a pre-determined elapsed time has gone by. I tried to trigger the event with a boolean: Elapsed time = given value is true, then go to that event. However I cannot get it to work. I am attaching the code but just in case it does not open, I am also attaching a picture of the relevant portion in the block diagram. Any advise?

To trigger the event structure you have to use a value signaling property node, not the terminal nor a local variable.

Kudos for a link to my tag Grandmas house thread!

 

Extra kudos if you post the small child in the back seat as a dynamic event! 

@OP,  you have to break the data dependency between the parallel loops!
