How to use A network for people flow ?

So I'll be generating 100s of operator as objects in process flow using create object. I want all those people to follow for A* network to go to a certain location and then get destroyed. How can I achieve this?

Hi @Jay K9 ,

If you are using FlexSim's healthcare environment with an arrivals process flow and person flow using a "create patient/create person" activity, the created people automatically join the A star network. However, if you are using create object to create operators, you can still accomplish this by using this code:

contextdragconnection(token.person,Model.find("AStarNavigator"),"A");

This makes an A connection from the created person to the AStarNavigator which adds them to the network. Attached is a model demonstrating this. You may also find this post useful

Hello @Jay K9,

Here is a model that uses the person flow.
