vcTransportLink

vcTransportLink is a single-directional logical connection between two transport nodes that defines navigability and transportation parameters for a specific flow group of products. Each link has to be associated with a transport controller that implements the link and can add its own custom properties to it. Transport links are owned by a vcTransportSystem and thus are created through its method. For easier tracking of transport graph navigability changes, only the Implementer can be changed after the link has been created. To change the other properties of a transport link user needs to create a copy and delete the original instead. Any dynamically created properties can be edited at will, but adding and removing properties is usually only done by the implementing transport controller.

Properties

Learn how to use properties here. The properties are also inherited from the parent class.

Name	Type	Access	Description
Destination	vcTransportNode	R	Gets the destination transport node.
Implementer	vcBehavior	RW	Gets or sets the controller that will take care of moving the product through this link. See more Note that when reassigning the implementer, the transport controllers usually modify the link's properties immediately in event handlers. Parameters: implementer (vcBehavior): A transport controller or a container as interpolating transport controller. Exceptions: TypeError: When implementer is not a transport controller. Returns: vcTransportController or vcInterpolatingTransportController as a container.
Properties	vcPropertyContainer	R	Gets the properties of this transport link.
Source	vcTransportNode	R	Gets the transport node to start moving from.
SupportedGroup	vcProcessFlowGroup	R	Gets the suppoerted group value. Only product types belonging to this flow group can travel through this link.
