[Swarm-Support] creating agents using a schedule

[Mervin Chan]

 

 

Hi all,

 

I am using swarm with JAVA. I have a question with regard to creating objects.

I understand that I can only create agents within buildobjects().

 

Like so:

 

Public object Buildobjects()

{

 

abug = new SimpleBug( …. )

 

 

}

 

As such, agents are created before the simulation is run. Is it possible to insert into the schedule to allow the creation of agents at  pre-defined (or random) timesteps. Instead of pre-defining all my agents in buildobjects()

 

 

Ie:  for every X timesteps, create Y number of agents. Do until Simulation end.

           

 

 

Thank you.
