Actor framework - Substitute actor override

[Youssef Menjour]

Hi  everybody,

I'm trying to use in actor framework the substitute actor override but there is no example on internet. 
Is someone can provide me a simple example to understand it ?

 

Thank you

I am not an AF person, but I think if you look at the State Pattern Actor, I'm pretty sure it uses that override.

I really need to understand how it works.

Unfortunatelly there is few information on substitute actor override.

Anyone able to help me ?

Stagg54's suggestion was a good one. Take a look at the State Pattern Actor example project that heavily utilizes this override.

It's quite frustrating not to have a direct answer to my question and to be forced to dissect a package to understand.
The simplest thing would have been to explain this override better.
I'll go see but it's really not practical

[Jordan Kuehn]

Included in the project is documentation that directly addresses your question about overriding the Substitute Actor.vi including some caveats and considerations to make while doing it. The project itself is a simple functional example as well, as originally requested.

OK i'll check 

thank you

J'ai téléchargé le fameux state actor patern et clairement il n'explique absolument rien. Ou puis je trouver un exemple ? A quoi ça sert ? Est ce que quelqu'un sait vraiment ? Il n'y a aucun exemples null part dans les exemple NI et ce VI ne montre absolument rien

Good morning I downloaded the famous state actor patern and clearly it explains absolutely nothing. Where can I find an example? What's the point ? Does anyone really know? There are no examples anywhere in the NI examples and this VI shows absolutely nothing

How do we launch this switch actor? Where ? I don't understand the point of this VI?

 

When hitchhiking, is the switch actor useful? (obviously no, since nowhere are the FIFO connections cut, the nesteds are not deleted in the actor who is going to be switched)

The VIP contains a project template. Create a new project from that template and look around. It also contains a PDF with more info.

Implementing the State Pattern in Actor Framework.pdf

This PDF is in the project template. I'm literally in the middle of a new State Pattern implementation and am using this template for the first time myself. If anything it could use a refresh with the new launch nested actor vis, but aside from that the information is available in this example project.
