Get AGV Orientation

Hello,

How do you get the orientation of an AGV travelling via code? I would like to implement logic that is dependent on AGV orientation (forward vs backward)

Here's a model with a user command "isAGVinReverse".

Note that in future versions of FlexSim, if the structure of the AGV changes, this may need changing or may not be supported. If you'd like this feature added as as standard agv property then you can suggest it as an idea here on the forum or mail your request to FlexSim.

Hi, I did some testing and seems like this solution does not work if the AGV changes direction before it reaches the destination. Attached the model to show what I mean.
