Hi, I want to control number of agv through dispatcher and not through process flow. Whenever I want only two agv running out of 5 I need to control it without disconnecting agv to dispatcher. How can I do it.

I believe the simplest method would be to simply 'stop' the AGVs that are not supposed to be active. In the attached example I do so in the OnReset trigger of the dispatcher, based on the "numActive" label on it.
The dispatcher passes jobs through its output ports to the AGVs' input ports. So you can have a similar effect by just closing those that exceed the number of AGVs by changing this line:
current.outObjects[i].stop(STATE_STOPPED);
to
closeinput(current.outObjects[i]);
