How can I pull information from a token for use in custom code?

I am checking AGV battery level to determine if it needs to be routed to a charge station. Currently I have hard-coded the TE resource name and the logic works fine. What I need help with is making the decision independent of the TE name, perhaps pulling that information from the token. Below is a screen shot of the process flow and the code in the decision point block. Ideally I'd like to pass the TE name to the variable "tugger", which is used in the "agvinfo" function.

Mike,

It's tough to debug a graphic. Any way you can send your model or better yet a sample model showing the specific problem you are having?

Sure, model attached. The AGV hits the decision point between 7:49 and 7:50.

Your parent token has a reference to the AGV stored on the label "resource". All you need to do in your Decision activity AGV Battery Recharge is reference that label and get the name of it:

string tugger = getname(getlabel(token, "resource"));

Thank you, works great.
