Forklift FlowItem

Hi. How do I use Transporter as FlowItem? I want to create FlowItem taskexecuters that look like Transporter (Forklift). I'd like to have the Forklift located in FlowItemBin.

I can make a copy of a Transporter during the simulation in FlexScript but then the Forklift flowitems are not destoyed at the simulation reset. I even tried to copy the Transporter into FlowItem bin, but then the copies were stored under flowItemBin tree. I could destroy the Transporter FlowItems "manually" at reset, but I guess that there is easier way also.

What features do expects from this flowitem type?

If you need only a shape, then please look for it at external sources.

If you need exactly the FlexSim shape, then you can copy the drawsurrogate node only.

If you need a similar object like an operator flowitem, then you can compare operator flowitem and flowitem Taskexecuter object.
