Item stuck at Object Fluid to Item?

Hi Team,

I know fluid library is not recommended to use for fluid system anymore. But still, I would like to ask a question since my model is almost ready.

I am facing issue with "Fluid to Item" object while applying breakdown on it. Item is stuck in this object while breakdown and not flowing once it is resumed. Subsequently, it is shown as blocked in time in state chart.

Any idea how to resolve this issue if you have come across?

Thank you!

This looks like a bug - I'll send it to the dev team.

For now you can add this to the resume function of the unitizer's failure:

if (downobject.subnodes.length)
    releaseitem(downobject.first);

assuming there's only one item in the object - otherwise loop through and release them all.
