Why does the task executer on GIS Navigation start as soon as I run the model?

Hello,

I am creating a model using GIS Navigation. Why does the truck in the 3D model start traveling as soon as I run the model, while in the process flow there is first a loading operation that takes some time? Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

Hi @Filippo C5,

It's hard to know how to help without looking at your model. To receive a more accurate solution, please post your model or a sample model that demonstrates your question.

Hi, I have attached the model I am making. As you can see the token is created at 8:00 (while the simulation is set to start at 00:00), but the truck in the 3D model starts immediately (at 0:00) as soon as the model runs. The same thing happens if you set the simulation to start at 8:00, but before the travel action you put a load action (which takes some time). How can I make the truck in the 3D model start when the token in the process flow ends up on "Travel"?

Thank you in advance

It's because you have two process flows called "ProcessFlow" and in one of them you're creating a travel task to Bologna:

Thank you so much for your help! :)

I didn't know of the existence of that duplicated process flow, so I focused only on the model.
