Move directly above BasicTE.

I moved TaskExecuter1 in a travel activity.

I have set the Destination to BasicTE2.

However, TaskExecuter1 stopped when It touched BasicTE2.

How should I set it to move directly above BasicTE2?

Or is it impossible to move it directly above the object?

Here's a model that travels to te1 center and to te2 location (to show you the difference) using TravelToLoc.

By using the "Travel to Location" activity, I was able to move that TaskExecuter1 directly above my destination.

In other words, this

Does the "Travel to object" activity mean that I can't move directly above your destination?

Task executers are considered to have reached an object when their distance is less than half the maximum dimension of the object.

To reach 'BasicFR1', a task executer would travel until it reaches the blue circle. (The diameter is equal to the objects largest dimension, in this case the x-size). To have a task executer travel to the exact location of an object, it needs to be of size '0' (for example network nodes don't have a physical size)

Travel Networks and AGV networks work differently, as task executer mostly travel between discrete points in those cases. The A* navigator works similar to the default navigator in this regard.
