Can AGV network interact with A star network?

So in a material handling simulation I have forklifts and TE moving the aisle on an AGV network. Now I want to use A star network to allow for people walking on the side of the aisle, however, when they cross I want them to stop if an forklift or TE is passing through it.


Can this interaction be accomplished?

Hi @Jay K9 ! You could also look into Agent Systems like this video shows. Particularly the part starting at 7:50

You can now add dynamic barriers to both Astar and AGV systems, which will probably be the best way to implement what you're describing.

Could you share a demo model? Is it available only for Version 23?
