Connect different agent type Anylogic

Question

I have 5 agents - bus, transformer , generator, load , line. I have a requirement where i need dynamically connect the above agents.

I have written the following code, where i am trying to connect for example bus [2] and generator[5]. The connections are not random but based on a circuit, which i am dynamically reading through a text file.

for (int l = 0; l < busList.size(); l++) {
for (int k = 0; k < generatorList.size(); k++) {
                    if (generatorList.get(k).getBusNumber()==busList.get(l).getBusNumber()) {

busList.get(l).getBusID().connectTo(generatorList.get(k).getGenID());
                    }
                }
            }

Can someone help with the connection part. I cannot have a generic list because I need the agent attributes for other functionalities as well.

Assuming that busList and generatorList are collections containing entries of type Bus and Generator respectively, which both are derived of type Agent, the following code should work for connecting:

busList.get(l).connectTo(generatorList.get(k));

I don't know why you used getBusID and getGenID which I assume return an integer. If they really return a Bus or a Generator object it should work as you already wrote. In this case you would need to provide us the error message or the exact problem that you have.
