Setting Waiting Zone parameters

This procedure assumes that you have placed a Waiting Zone. Many of these settings are identical to those for Delay Points and the following procedure refers to them.

To set Waiting Zone parameters:

  1. Ensure the Edit Waiting Zone <name> dialog is displayed.
  2. Enter a name, or choose a name from the drop-down list of imported pending objects, in the 'Name' box.
  3. (Optional) Enter the maximum capacity for the Waiting Zone. Once the maximum capacity is reached, entities heading to the waiting zone must wait until some of the entities occupying the waiting zone depart. The default maximum capacity is 100,000,000 entities (essentially, unrestricted).
  4. The Entity Waiting parameters are the same as those for Delay Points. (See steps in "To set Waiting Location parameters" in Setting Waiting Location parameters )
  5. If you created the Waiting Zone as a filter object, then you can click on the 'Entity Filter' tab and complete the Filtering parameters (for further information on filtering, see Specifying filter settings ). Otherwise, the 'Entity Filters' tab will be unavailable and you can omit this step.
  6. To set the Dispersal Point parameters, follow the steps in Setting Dispersal Point parameters .
  7. To set Availability and possibly Condition parameters, follow the steps in Setting Availability parameters .
  8. If your Waiting Zone is a target object, Entities will auto-navigate towards its Focal Point until it is in their line of sight. In rare instances this may cause them to move in an unexpected or illogical manner. To remedy this, click on the 'Target Parameters' tab and uncheck 'Use focal point for navigation'. In this case Entities will navigate towards the closest point on the Focal Segment.
