Task Executer travel to home

I have a model where I am using Task Executers on a A* Network. These Task Executers will travel to home location when they are idle. When they are in the process of travelling to these home cells, a new higher priority task could be assigned to it. In the model that I have now, the Task Executer completed the travel mission to the home cell before going for the new task. I wanted to check if there was a way to stop the travel to home mission mid task and start working on the new higher priority activity.

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.2.0

Hey @Kishan K, it would help if you could post your model to the File Share Site (link above) so we could better help you.

With regards to your question, it is possible to preempt a Task Executer (TE) while they're traveling. You can use preemption to cause a TE to stop doing whatever task they're doing in the moment and cause them to do something else. You can pick what they do with the dropped task (i.e., come back to it later, delete it, or delete the whole sequence it was apart of).
