How to have a forklift stop at a network node for sometime not loading/unloading

I am having a group of forklift traveling on a network doing different load/unload tasks, is there a way to have a forklift stop at a network node for certain time where it's not doing any loading and unloading but just going through a cleaning process? In conveyor module, you can just put a decision point and choose stop & delay, is there such similar features or work around?

Thanks,

Chao

There is another answer in the forums that talks about how to delay an object at the Network Node. You can find it here:

https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/23645/can-we-have-delay-time-on-network-node.html

Essentially it involves the node stopping the object, then sending a delayed message to itself telling when to resume the object.
