How can I move active tokens to another activity?

Hi.

I want to move tokens that are conducting 'walk to floor spot2' to 'walk to floor spot3'

My scenario is that when patients who are walking to floor spot2 are in floor spot1's Proximity Radius, they get 'go to floor spot3' label and then go to floor spot3 by 'change direction'

Key point is that as soon as patients are within floor spot 1's range, they have to go to floor spot 3 by 'change direction'

I think the reason why I can't get the result what I want is that token have to finish their current activity and then can move to next activity.

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you.

Use the Release Token option of a Custom Code activity or the Release Token activity

Thank you for your replying.

Despite your advice, I still haven't solved this problem.

Could you explain it in more detail?

In the attached model I create a child token in the StartRedirect activity, when the proximity fires. Then I create an empty tasksequence to preempt and abort the current travel task and then redirect the parent token to the Spot3 walk activity.

There will be other ways to do this - but you specifically asked about moving the patient token to a different activity so that what's in this model.
