AnyLogic: Select specific resource set based on condition

I have created a simple model in AnyLogic (see screenshot). Now I want to add a condition that selects one of the two resource sets in the service block. As an example the following scenario shall apply: If there are more than 5 parts in the queue, worker 3 and worker 4 should perform the service. If there are <= 5 parts in the queue, the service shall be performed by worker 1 and worker 2. This is only meant to be a simplified example. I am primarily interested in solving this problem using a condition. I have already tried different approaches, but without success. Does anyone have an idea how the Java code for this condition could look like?

First, you don't need the queue since the service block already has a queue... So For this particular example in your resource choice conditions you will do the following:

service.queueSize()>5 ? (worker3.containsUnit(unit) || worker4.containsUnit(unit))
:
(worker1.containsUnit(unit) || worker2.containsUnit(unit))

You can change service.queueSize() with queue.size() if you insist in using a queue. After that you need to be sure to recalculate the conditions when needed, for this particular example i think you only need to recalculate them on exit action of the service block:

self.recalculateResourceChoiceConditions();

One easy approach is to use Seize and Delay (and Release once done) blocks instead of Service. Before Seize, you can place your condition in a SelectOutputOut block. Like this:
