Pass destination node as a string to agent parameter

I want to pass the destination node in which my agent is going to/is at as a string.

I have an agent (car) that has multiple parameters one of them being location. I have a resourcePool with multiple home locations in which the car can park (move to home of seized unit). I am trying to collect the node in which the car is parked at and pass it as a string to this location parameter as such when it exits the moveTo block:

if(moveTo.destinationNode(agent) == nodeA) {
    agent.location = "A";
} else {
    agent.location = "NULL";
}

However, when a car is parked on nodeA. I expect the value of location to be A, but the parameter comes up as NULL which it should not be. Any recommendation would be of great value. Thanks!

What is nodeA? A String? – GBlodgett
nodeA is a INode or pointnode – Oscar Dyremyhr
If it isn't a primitive, then use .equals() – GBlodgett

I think the problem is that you have used the == operator, but you have not overloaded it to compare two nodes. (I don't know how to do this, but you can). Maybe you can do something like if (x.location == y.location) {} (I'm making up these names). Hope this helps.

Issue Fixed:

if(agent.getNetworkNode() == nodeA){
   agent.location = "A"
} else if(agent.getNetworkNode() == nodeB){
   agent.location = "B"
}

... and so on
