Diagram 2b
About this model
This diagram illustrates visitors as autonomous agents whose behaviour is driven by internal needs and continuous evaluation of the environment. When a visitor spawns, it generates three needs—food, entertainment, and toilet—and the highest value determines its current priority.
The visitor then checks whether a suitable facility is available nearby. If no appropriate building is found, the visitor remains in an exploratory state and periodically re-evaluates the environment, allowing its behaviour to adapt as new facilities are built or crowd conditions change.
Once a suitable facility is detected, the visitor selects it as a target and switches to goal-directed movement. Pathfinding like A* is used to navigate towards the facility, and a successful arrival triggers a service interaction that contributes to the overall service count. If no suitable facility becomes available within the visitor’s tolerance window, the visitor leaves the market unserved.
