Anylogic from "release block" change variable integer

I have an Agent Cart created with 4 variables inside. Each variable is an integer and one of them is called red and has an initial value of 4.

When I use seize/release statement I want change the integer by -1.

In the action section ive tried "On release" saying (Cart)unit.red in hope of changing the variable from 4 to 3. It gives an error back. "red cannot be resolved or is not a field" along with an syntax error on ")", assignment operator expected in (Cart)unit.red. Writing (Cart)unit.variable doesnt work either. Another sub-question : Is it possible to change two of the variables in the class from the "on release" block? EDIT Classpicture Overview

Seize Release

You need to assign Cart to your resource pool in order to be able to use it. Check this image: resourcePool

After that you need to be very careful on making the distinction between Cart, cart and carts

  • Cart being the class
  • cart being the agent if there is only 1 cart and you defined it as a single agent
  • carts being the population of agents

in your case, only the class is needed if you created a resource type called Cart... check out the capital letters compared to the non-capitalized ones.

Ok, now in your seize block you can use the cart ONLY in the action called on seize unit or on prepare unit.

if you do ((Cart)unit).red=3; it WILL work, as long as you understood all the previous explanation.

It it doesn't, you will need to give A LOT more information about your model, including very precise images of everything you are doing.
