To adjust the personality of the arsin we use personality parameter

Define specific config file

It is possible to parameterize arsin using configuration files.

The default configuration and a description of these parameters is stored in


sim/config/personality _parameter/default.properties.


To change the default configuration you can overwrite the default properties by an individual personality property file for each arsin. To do so overwrite the descision unit parameter to the name of the new property file.

Add the following line to the scenario file to change the personality parameter for entitygroup 0:


entitygroups.0.overwritedecisionunitdefaults.processor.psychicapparatus.personality.parameter.file=<file_name>


At first the default.properties file is loaden. If a specific personality parameter file is set the values from the default file are overwritten by the values from the specified file.

In the tutorial scenario a specific personality parameter file for arsin 0 is set!

Define a Parameter within a Parameter File

If you define a new personality parameter you have to add two lines to the default.properties file. One for the default value and one for the description of the parameter.

<Module Name>.<Parameter Name>. value =

<Module Name>.<Parameter Name>. description =

e.g.:

F07.SUPER_EGO_STRENGTH.value=0.5

F07.SUPER_EGO_STRENGTH.description= adjusts the strength of the super-ego

To overwrite the value defined in default.properties just add the fist line with the new value to a personality parameter file and define this file for your arsin.


How to load a defined parameter within a module

call the getPersonalityParameter(String ModuleName, String ParameterNumber) methode in the personalityParameterContainer of the arsin.

e.g.:

moPersonalityParameterContainer.getPersonalityParameter("F03","HOMEOSTASIS_RECTUM").getParameterDouble());
