TIGHTPLUS constraints: how to set a difference between 2 tasks without knowing their order

[fredericgirod]

Hi,
I have to set up some TIGHTPLUS constraints in order to separate my tasks by a few time units: but how to set a difference between 2 tasks without knowing their order ?
For example, I'm using such TIGHTPLUS ... S += Games[11] + 1 <= Games[10],
but I don't want to set an order. I want tasks Games[11] and Games[10] to be separated by 1 time unit whatever the order they will be appearing ...

In the following script, breaks are schedule between tasks, maybe sth similar can be applied to your case. Note the is_group, since will speed up the computation, since the breaks are probably all similar, so we can treat them as an interchangeable group.

#! /usr/bin/env python
import sys
sys.path.append('../src')
from pyschedule import Scenario, solvers, plotters

horizon = 20
S = Scenario('Scenario',horizon=horizon)
tasks = S.Tasks('T',num=int(horizon/2),is_group=True,completion_time_cost=1,state=1)
breaks = S.Tasks('B',num=int(horizon/2),is_group=True,completion_time_cost=1,state=-1)

R = S.Resource('R')
tasks += R
breaks += R

# ensure that state is always between 0 and 1
for t in range(horizon):
	S += R['state'][:t] <= 1
	S += R['state'][:t] >= 0

solvers.mip.solve(S, msg=1)
plotters.matplotlib.plot(S, fig_size=(10, 5))
#plotters.matplotlib.plot(S, fig_size=(10, 5), hide_tasks=breaks)

hey @fredericgirod , I have the same problem you had 2 years ago!!

I wondering if you can share with me your solution?
