Glad you found a solution.
Assuming you actually only have 2 output ports (ie: there's no "conditional" to your transport behaviour, you just want to select the correct transporter) you could also just slightly modify the default value of the transport field.
By default the field contains current.centerObjects[1].
You could instead use current.centerObjects[port] to always select the transporter connected to the same port number as the item is exiting through.
Assuming your goal is to use several conditions / select different transporters depending on those conditions, you can either :
Use the existing Conditional Transport pickoption :
The condition field can contain any condition you want, including multiple conditions combined with logical ORs ( manual: Writing Logic in FlexSim ), maybe in this case your condition could be something as simple as port <= 2 though.
The Transporter field can also select the desired transporter based on the same (or different) conditions, given you seem to only want 2 cases the ternary operator could help you here ( manual: Writing Logic in FlexSim ), or if you just want to base it on the port number you could use the following expression to select the transporter connected to the same center port number as the item is exiting through : current.centerObjects[port].
Or alternatively if your conditions are more complex, you can edit the code of the Conditional Transport option to better fit your needs by clicking on the button pictured below :
If this doesn't answer your question, please post your model or a simplified model demonstrating your exact problem for a more specific answer.
