Task executor moving away at a random far distance

Hi,


I have a model where I create trucks with trailer that get filled by with pallets. Once full, a trailer is released. Now what I want is to make the truck travel on network node which it does, but only after flying to a random far away distance in the model a shown in the picture.

I moved my truck once it was full into a queue in process flow and from there, I use travel activity. Before travel activity, I used custom code to connect the truck with the first node of network node so it becomes part of its network navigator. Can someone please help me to keep the truck on its network node as soon as it starts traveling, and not do that random flying away motion? @Logan Gold @Brenton King @Eric M

Here is a similar question I asked answered by @Eric M . I also applied the same solution in my case but it doesn't work.

Take a look at the tasksequence of the truck - what is it trying to do? It would help if you upload your model.

Hi Jason. This happens when I move or create the task executor into a queue or any object at the start of model in the process flow. This doesn't happen if my task executor is created inside the network node. I am unable to upload the model.

I guess its a bug which causes the task executor to fly away randomly in the former case before joining back the network node its supposed to start with.

This sounds like a bug relating to travel coordinates not being translated to the container of the traveler - a similar post recently saw the same thing with patients moving to a waiting line - which has been noted.
