How to ask turtles on specific patch to do something












0















I am trying to get turtles on a specific, random patch to do something.
For example, I want to set a single random patch to be the color blue. I then want turtles that end up passing through that same random blue patch to die. Any advice?

          If I understand correctly it will be something like this:



          First randomly set a patch blue:



          let randomPatch one-of patches
          ask randomPatch [ set pcolor blue]


          And then:



          let patch-under-me patch-here
          if [pcolor] of patch-under-me = blue[
          die
          ]


          This will need to go inside a function that is being called by a turtle, such as a move function.

            Nice. You can also simplify to having if pcolor = blue [ die ] within the turtle's ask procedure, since the turtle will automatically understand a pcolor query to mean "the pcolor of the patch under me"
