Documentation for SLiM function skipTick, which is a method of the SLiM class Species. Note that the R function is a stub, it does not do anything in R (except bring up this documentation). It will only do anything useful when used inside a slim_block function further nested in a slim_script function call, where it will be translated into valid SLiM code as part of a full SLiM script.

skipTick(void)

Arguments

void

An object of type . See details for description.

Value

An object of type void.

Details

Documentation for this function can be found in the official SLiM manual: page 727.

Deactivate the target species for the current tick. This sets the active property of the species to F; it also set the active property of all callbacks that belong to the species (with the species as their species specifier) to F, and sets the active property of all events that are synchronized with the species (with the species as their ticks specifier) to F. The cycle counter for the species will not be incremented at the end of the tick. This method may only be called in first() events, to ensure that species are either active or inactive throughout a given tick.
