Re-orient stacks on conveyor tray

The stacks of product are ending up on top of each other in the red cartons. How can I change this so I can see how many stacks were placed in the carton as they flow down the line?LWSim.fsm

Hey @Makenna A, I only ever see one item in a red carton, so I never see the behavior you describe. Is there a time I can fast-forward to to witness this behavior?

If you'd like to line up the boxes along the tray, then you could change your "Change Visual" > Set Location activity in your "LRmate Logic" section to change the Y based upon how many items are in the tray.

Y: -1 + .25*token.pulledTray.subnodes.length

This will get the current number of items in the tray and offset their Y based upon that value. You may need to adjust the values to make the gap larger/smaller, but the principle is the same.
