Refused links #96

Open osemsem opened 8 years ago

osemsem commented 8 years ago

Please make a check on the refused links bug. Especially, the bidirectional relationship (Two links between two variables in opposite directions).

Rhineheart commented 8 years ago

Should they be able to be bidirectional? Right now the only refusal I do is bidirectional and actor -> any non instrument. I think you can link an instrument to an actor, which probably isn't good either.

osemsem commented 8 years ago

When we have a variable X linked to variable Y (link XY), it should be possible to return back with a link from Y to X (link YX). This might happen only between impact variables, Of course, the control flow is always in one direction from an actor to a variable. Sorry if the original issue description was not clear enough.

osemsem commented 8 years ago

This is still an issue, it was working in a previous version please check it when you have time. Drawing a link from X to Y, and being able to have another returning link from Y to X with a time lag of course, Thanks

Rhineheart commented 8 years ago

Should the timelag be bidirectional, or should I give it different ones for both directions?

osemsem commented 8 years ago

Time lag doesn't need to be bidirectional. It needs a time lag because it is a loop. So, should be a time lag (on at least one of the two links).

Rhineheart commented 8 years ago

I'll make it only one link so it's easier to select it. Just wondering if the link should have two timelags, one for each direction.

osemsem commented 8 years ago

Should be possible to define two time lags if it is a bidirectional link.
