Check if AGV is loaded or empty at a control point

[ FlexSim 21.0.2 ]

As an extension of this exercise, I want to check if an AGV is loaded or unloaded when it arrives at a control point. I created two tracked variables, AGVLoaded and AGVEmpty which will be incremented depending on the AGV status at the control point where the check happens.

I think it should be possible using a simple conditional decide, but it seems like I keep referencing the AGV at the control point and not its subnodes.

What is wrong here?

You should use the source to assign the agv as a label:

and then use token.agv.subnodes.length

At the moment there is no arrival event - try using pre-arrival.

Worked like a charm! Thanks, Jason!
