AGV Network - Issue Allocating Destination If Path/Body Offset

Hi!

I was creating an AGV model where, 1 meter before reaching a workstation, I need to apply a lower precision speed than the AGV's usual speed. To achieve this, I created a LoadState called "Precision." So, I used a "travel" activity with a path offset of -1m to travel in the normal load state, and then another "travel" activity to complete that meter in the precision load state. The problem is that I noticed that nothing is being allocated from the last control point before the destination. I'm not sur if this is a bug, but, how could I ensure proper allocation as if I were traveling without a path offset?

I attach an example:

23.1 Not allocating if path offset.fsm

Thanks in advace!

Thanks for pointing this out - the lack of control area allocation looks to be a bug with any AGV offset travel (path or body), so I've sent it into the developers.

For now the only suggestion I have is to use standard travel and change the deceleration values such that the final arrival time at the destination CP is correct.
