Define agent with parameter (%) and delay time in main is based of it. (Anylogic)

I have a simple model which has a separate Agent called 'Passenger'. Inside the Passenger I have a parameters called 'WITH_CHILDREN' which it's default value is randomTrue(0.5).

In my main process, I would like the Passenger that results TRUE for 'WITH_CHILDREN' to take longer at a specific delay process.

I thought it would be something like (inside the on enter action of the delay):

if(passenger.WITH_CHILDREN == true){

    delayTime = triangular(1,5,15);
else{
    delayTime = triangular(0,1,1.5);
}

However there are many errors with this :( I would like to link it from the Agent as oppose to setting the percentage in the delay as I have future percentages parameters that will be used on other delays.... If that makes sense.

You can define this directly in the delay time of the delay block using the following code: 

agent.WITH_CHILDREN ?  triangular(1,5,15) : triangular(0,1,1.5)

And because an image is better than 1000 words (I made a mistake in the image... it's agent. not passenger. delay time magic

when you use delayTime in the actions, it's only a readable variable, you can't change it.
