How to move transporter directly to the destination rack from where it is?

At 155 seconds, the Transporter picks up the Box from Rack1.

Then to place Box on Rack2 Transporter moves to NN1 and then to Rack2.

How do I direct the Transporter to Rack2 from where it picks up the Box from Rack1?

Thanks.

There exists an optional offset rebind mechanism to let a taskexecuter continue an offset travel at another network then he has begun the travel sequence. It is made by a “d” connection type. A Taskexecuter will switch an offset Travel controlling network node if this connection type exists AND the destination is nearer than any previous connection nodes. You can recognize this binding by a red line from a node to taskexecuter.
https://docs.flexsim.com/en/23.0/WorkingWithTasks/Travel/WorkingWithTravelNetworks/WorkingWithTravelNetworks.html#alternate

you can force this so called alternate exit, if it is the only valid way to continue on the network node system to reach the next destination object. You are allowed to draw between both types of “d” and ”a” type connections to support a taskexecuter to travel on a network node system, going into an offset travel task for load and unload tasks and continue on the network at a different network node. For this I would build first an alternate exit connection and then a network node object connection for a regular task.

@SeongWeon HONG, because an alternate exit path is not only a connection similar between an output and input port of objects, it has got an ability feature to customize the direction. You need to erase not wanted directions by drawing lines holding “e” key down. You can see directions as small arrows in the color of connection light brown or orange.
