Hello, I want to assign the current state of the operator (ex: 1, 2, 3 ... ) as a label using assign label, how can I do this?

get_state.fsm

Do you mean the actual state, as in "idle/travel/loading/etc" or some number that is supposed to represent a different status, like you do with the "ChuteStatus" label?

And what object/token do you want to assign the label to?

I mean the representation of status in numbers form such as "Idle == 1". I will add a new label to assign a helper operator to the token which has PersonelID label.

token.PersonelID.helper

You can read the status of a fixed resource or task executer with the following expression:

// Get state number
object.stats.state(profileNum).value
// Get state name
object.stats.state(profileNum).valueString

object is a reference to the object you want to read the state from. The profileNum of the default state profile is 0 (you can also leave the argument blank in that case).

Are you asking about the state of the helper in order to determine if they can help? You can acquire the helper explicitly so don't need to check if they are idle.

Model attached with the code from your other post to have the helper travel to the same location and with helper labels added to each operator.

get-state_jl.fsm
