How can we change the AGV Direction when it has reverse movement

Hello Team,

I have been working on AGV path flow, where I have an AGV which is travelling from one control point to another and then travelling back. But the orientation of the AGV remains same & it travels in a backward direction. I want to have forward moving orientation of my AGV.

Folks, Kindly revert to my problem, as I have a big tree of AGV path, where I cant draw rotation pathfor the AGV. Is there any option after writing code in process or AGV, where we can control its movement visuals.

Note: I tried with setrot command,but it didnt worked.

Looking for your support, Thanks

If it's only important that the AGV travels backwards visually and you know at which points it would need to turn you can edit the shape factors to switch the orientation of the 3d shape around.

This can be done in code by directly setting the value of the corresponding node.

object.find("spatial/offsetrz").value = deg;

In the attached example I do this in the load/unload trigger of the task executer.

Are you saying you want it to reversed but want the visual to show forward? Or do you want it to actually change it's travel direction by rotation and are unable to get it to do so?

An example would help us help you.
