How to set object state for kinematics movements?

I have a custom lift truck that has a custom unload animation using kinematics.

However, the state of the object during kinematics is IDLE.

I tried to use SETSTATE before kinematics to specify that the state should be STATE_UNLOADING but it doesn't work. The state still is IDLE.

Anyway to specify a state for the object before/during kinematics?

Thanks a lot,

My guess is that you set the state directly after the truck finished another task that would cause it change state (for example going idle after finishing a travel). You have to delay setting the state to after that default change has taken place. In Process Flow this can be done with a 0s delay.

TaskExecuter1 (controlled by the left block) is in the "Stopped" state after the travel. For the other, that state got overwritten by the default idle.
