Hi all,

I am trying to simulate a complex scenario of road usage including traffic lights, which I am modelling using EntityGate. I am finding that the EntityGate is delaying every entity that arrives, despite the open/closed state. However, this is not the intented behaviour as far as i am aware.

I tried to replicate this in a simple scenario, which I attach, and the behaviour is the same, EntityGate is delaying every entity that arrives. ¿Am I doing something wrong in terms of modelling or may this be a bug?

In case this might bug, i wanted to note that I am using 2022.06 version. Maybe, I should be trying this with version 2022.07, however I don´t see this is treated in the relase notes of the 2022.07 version.

Attached .cfg file: https://we.tl/t-PTG3yivLso

Thank you in advance,

Diego

Diego,

For EntityGate to work correctly, the entities must be directed at the EntityGate itself instead of to its Queue. The attached file shows a modified version of your example model.

Thank you very much Harry, now I see how it should be modelled and that I was doing it incorrectly.

Congratulations for the work you do in this community and with the development and support of JaamSim. Appreciate it.
