Elements That Can Interact With Resources

Only certain kinds of elements in GoldSim can interact with Resources. The table below summarizes which elements can use Resources, and how they can use them:

Element	Resource Store Interaction	Allowed Usage	Comments
Triggered Event	Interacts when triggered.	Spend (discrete) Deposit (discrete)	If triggered with a Spend Requirement and Resource is not available, trigger is held (it waits) for Resource.
Event Delay	Interacts when triggered. Borrowed items are returned when signal is released.	Spend (discrete) Borrow (discrete) Deposit (discrete)	If Requirement is Spend or Borrow, and Resource is not available, the signal is added to the queue for the element.
Discrete Change Delay	Interacts when discrete change signal is received. Borrowed items are returned when signal is released.	Spend (discrete) Borrow (discrete) Deposit (discrete)	If Requirement is Spend or Borrow, and Resource is not available, the signal is added to the queue for the element.
Conditional Container	Interacts when Activation is triggered. Borrowed items are returned when Container is deactivated.	Spend (discrete) Borrow (discrete) Deposit (discrete)	If triggered with a Spend or Borrow Requirement and Resource is not available, trigger is held (it waits) for Resource.
Conditional Container	Interacts while Container is Active	Spend Rate Deposit Rate	While Container is active, spends or borrows at specified rate. If Spend Rate is specified and Resource is not available, the Container deactivates until the Resource becomes available.

Specialized elements in the GoldSim Reliability Module can also interact with Resources.
