Method Error object of type AgentBasedModel is not callable

Hi I am having the following error when I call the step!() or abmvideo!() functions and not sure what the cause of it is. Any ideas?

ERROR: MethodError: objects of type AgentBasedModel{Agents.OSM.OpenStreetMapSpace, Union{Casualty, Hospital, PMA, Rescuer}, typeof(Agents.Schedulers.fastest), Dict{Symbol, Real}, Random.TaskLocalRNG} are not callable

Without having a closer look at your code

should probably be function go2!(model).

should probably be step!(model, dummystep, go2!, 1).

Yeap, these are standard Julia syntax mistakes, not really related with Agents.jl. go2!() returns a model. BTW thanks a lot @fbanning for being around and answering questions about Agents.jl here!
