Hi @Norah,

The link below goes over a similar problem regarding how to have operators pull an object behind them.

Yes, I did it and it works very well when they walk in the waiting line or other location except for the aisle in the airplane, when they walk through the aisle, the baggage penetrates the chair and any other objects. So, how I fix the penetration that happened?

@Norah,

It seems that the model that you made a video of and the one you have shared with us are different. The model you shared only has the operators carrying the luggage normally. Without seeing the model with the problems we can only assume that the issue is with a set location trigger.

If you share the model with the error we can take a look at it and see how to solve your problem.

@Norah,

To fix the location of the luggage you need to modify the on load trigger on your man and woman flowitem in the flowitem bin. For example I edited the X and Y values on the trigger to be 0 instead of 1 and the luggage is now being carried as shown in the picture below.

You just need to find an offset that makes the luggage look like it is being carried in the way that you want.
