Re: using getObjectAtX$Y with a createFActionForEachHeterogeneous$call

[pauljohn]

If I were you, I would try to separate the two problems--the getting of
the object and the scheduling.  For the first try, why not use the
older, more simple scheduling method "createActionForEach", no FCall, no
Heterogeneous or Homogeneous?

The other possibility, which is becoming my standard approach when there
are complications, is to write a method in the model swarm that loops
through the list doing something, and then put that in the schedule. 
Here is an example:

Use this in buildActions
        try{
          modelSchedule.at$createActionTo$message(0,this, new
Selector(getClass(
), "stepAgents",false));
          } catch (Exception e) {
           e.printStackTrace (System.err);
            System.exit (1);
        }

 

public Object stepAgents () {
    Iterator index;
    
    index = recruiterList.iterator();
    while ( index.hasNext()){
      Recruiter aRecruiter = (Recruiter) index.next();
   
      aRecruiter.updateMembershipLevel();
      aRecruiter.makeProposal();
      aRecruiter.doRecruiting();
      System.out.println("ModelSwarm stepAgents");
     
    }
