Synopsis

set_weight_to(network, agent-id, pair-expression)
set_weight_to(network, agent-list, pair-expression)

Description

Set the weight on the edge from the calling agent to the agent-id in the given network. Has no effect if there is not already an edge between the two agents in the network.

If the second arguments is a list of agent IDs, all existing edges between the calling agent and the agents in the list are set.

The pair-expression is evaluated for each target agent to set the weight of the edge, if it exists. All agent properties in the pair-expression refer to the calling agent, but any occurrence of the special variable “_” refers to the target agent.

Parameters

An expression that evaluates to an agent ID.

agent-list

A list-expression that evaluates to a list of agent IDs.

Examples

Set the weights in the age-network on edges to members of the agent’s household, with weight equal to the age of the other agent minus the age of the calling agent:

set_weight_to(age_network, members(Household), ask(_,age) - age)
