In a "n" submodules network, how can a message start in a random position?

[Pedro BAGATIN VELEDA BERMUDEZ]

In a network with 3 submodules I don't want that a message starts always in the submodule[0] for example.

So I was thinking to change in the network declaration, as it follows:

simple Txc1

{

   parameters:

      bool sendMsgOnInit = default(false);

   gates:

      inout gate[ ];

}

network three_nodes

{

   types:

      channel Channel extends ned.DelayChannel   {

             delay = 100ms;

      }

   submodules:

      tic[3]: Txc1{

           parameters: tic[2].sendMsgOnInit = true;

      }

    connections:

       tic[0].gate++ <--> Channel <--> tic[1].gate++;

       tic[0].gate++ <--> Channel <--> tic[2].gate++;

       tic[1].gate++ <--> Channel <--> tic[2].gate++;

}

How can I declare it properly? After that I am planning to change the index (in this case 2) to a random value.

Specify that in the INI file and not in the NED file. Just add

*.tic[2].sendMsgOnInit = true

in the INI file.
