How to set AGV project-oriented fix

Hello,

How to keep the item on the AGV in the same direction without changing the direction of the item because of any AGV turning.

Thank you in advance,

@steven.chen,

One way to do this would be to add the following code to the AGV's "On Draw" trigger.

if(current.subnodes.length > 0)    {
    for(int i = 1; i <= current.subnodes.length; i++)    {
        current.subnodes.as(Object).rotation.z = 0 - current.rotation.z;
    }
}

This constantly changes the orientation of the object to be 0 minus the current rotation of the AGV. So, when the AGV is rotated 90 degrees, the item is rotated -90, or 0. Likewise, when an AGV is rotated -90 degrees, the item is rotated +90, or 0.

Here's the model that I built as an example. Let me know if this helps.
