I did have the same problem with a WakeupOnElapsedTime behaviour I wrote.
Basically, I needed to disable the behaviour from time to time.
Originally, I just assumed that setEnable() would do the trick but I
observed that the behaviour code was chewing up my cpu cycles even when
the program was supposed to be idling. My quick and dirty solution was to
override setEnable method and handle it with a WakeupOnBehaviorPost for
enabling and disabling the behaviour. here's my bit of code
public void setEnable(boolean isEnable) {
this.isEnable = isEnable;
if (isEnable) {
// start on the next time interval, w is my wakeupOn
// criteria at the end of the processStimulus method
w = new WakeupOnElapsedTime(timeStep);
// trigger manual wakeup condition. RUN is just a const id
postId(this.RUN);
} else {
// set wakeup condition to manual enable, where
// wakeupOnEnable = new WakeupOnBehaviorPost(this, RUN);
w = wakeupOnEnable;
}
}
My hunch is that, even though the behaviour code has been disabled, the
higher level scheduler is still scheduling it to run. After I nad fixed
this problem, the overall program performs much better.
Anybody else have this problem?? or is there a better way to disable a
behaviour.
