Check if a conveyor segment is connected to a previous and a next segment

[guiroehe]

Hello,

I am looking for a script to check if conveyor segments in a network have a previous and/or a next segment connected to them. As conveyor segments might have multiple "previous" segments or other decorations (decision points, etc.), I am not sure about hot to scan through the conveyorPoints to get the proper classification.

Thank you.

Due to the use of "sdt" values this is not guaranteed to work in other version, but should do so in the current one:

If the ownerobject of the node the conveyor point links to is a conveyor (determined by checking class name), then it represents a transfer.

Based on whether it's a side transfer for either conveyor and the distance along the conveyors' length I infer if it is an incoming or and outgoing connection.

One caveat: Since it uses the position of the transfer, some designs will break the logic, like having an outgoing connection at the very start of a conveyor.

Thank you, @moehlmann_fe,

I wonder why conveyor connections are not treated as In and Out objects, and other decorations (decision points, etc.) as central objects. Or, at least, a similar structure.
Thank you for your continuous and kind support!
