AnyLogic Error while trying to move agents in hierarchical model

Question

Task description: Model containing two types of agents, one type of agents is living in other. Trying to move agents among agents of higher order, I used following code (finding the random connected agent, then trying to increase its population and then defining the position inside):

City destinationCity = (City) city.getRandomConnectedAgent();
this.goToPopulation(destinationCity.population);
double newX = uniform(-50, 50);
double newY = uniform(-50, 50);
this.setXY(newX, newY);

Code is successfully compiled, however anylogic itself throws an error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: root.cities[0].population[40]:
INTERNAL ERROR: moving shape from one owner directly to another: com.anylogic.engine.presentation.ShapeEmbeddedObjectPresentation@566dc332 -> com.anylogic.engine.presentation.ShapeEmbeddedObjectPresentation@f8b9090

The problem lies inside this line, without this line agents are moving, however parameter for population number remains unchanged:

this.goToPopulation(destinationCity.population);

Will be grateful for any help (probably you know different way of moving agents among agents of higher order)!

This is a bug of AnyLogic 8.0-8.2. AFAIK, the error appears in case if target population is located at Main. There is workaround: put the target population inside dummy agent at Main (see screenshot):

The bug should be fixed in AnyLogic 8.3 or 8.4.

The structure of my simulation is different: Main, cities, people. The population of cities is in Main. The population of people is each county. I want to move people to different cities. I don't know how to do it the dummy solution. – sdaza Jan 24 '18 at 19:59
Sebastian, try to create auxiliary agent type (like Owner), put it at Main. Inside the Owner, create cities population. At City agent type, create people population. – Gregory Monahov Feb 07 '18 at 14:54
I'm using version 7 until the bug is fixed :) – sdaza Feb 08 '18 at 12:05
