To define this weighting, you need to change only two lines in the example script in Simple target weighting example. First, you would need to change the third parameter of the CreateWeight method to specify that we want factor weighting:

Second, you need to specify the factors instead of the targets:

An example of factor weighting is in the UNICOM Intelligence Developer Documentation Library as a sample script called Weight4.mrs. For more information, see Sample mrScriptBasic files.
