If you're telling a task executer to load or unload and have it set to not use travel offsets for load and unload tasks then it will not move unless you give it a travel task.

Update: You posted the model in a duplicate post here. We can see in that model some transporter are not connected to the network - eg.RT. and some are set to not travel offsets. In either case the network will not be used for unload/load tasks, and in the case of RT, not even for travel tasks. Connect them to a network node and consider altering the settings for offset travel or giving the task executer Travel tasks rather than just load/unload.

I don't want it to stop working. I want Transporter2 to move along the network

You need to tell it to travel to the rack and then unload - two different tasks.

You can't use the Network Navigator since it thinks a node the other side of the wall is closer.

You should check your academic institution's course material for help on travel types or read about Offset Travel here. In short the load and unload tasks use offset travel which doesn't use a travel Navigator (eg. Default, AGV, Network, Astar) unless that option is chosen in the Taskexecuter menu.

Any other option uses the taskexecuters own logic in free space to do the movement.

Travel to Object tasks always use the navigator.
