How decide destination on resource available

Hello, in the model, I am trying to decide where the AGV would go to charge the battery during 'on resource available.'

The charge stations are the gray cylinders in the model.

When the AGV is on 'resource available,' I would like the AGV to go to the closet charge location that is in the direction the AGV will go since the AGVs go in one direction.

Thank you.

I added a group for the charge points and a list with that group as the initial values.

Then I added an expression to the list, for the AGVdistance between control points of the AGV and each charge point.

In the resource available trigger I pull from the list (leaving it on the list - not sure how you want to handle availability) and if it's not the location of the AGV create a travel task for it to go there.
