How to change the travel and location of transporter?

Model attached. For realistic visuals. Currently my transporters are staying in the middle of the object after unloading that object. How can i change there location after unloading the object or maybe a "travelto" location after unloading. Also, The transporter that unloads to the rack navigates through the objects when unloading. How can i get the transporter to navigate around unloaded objects?

You might want to look into adding a network navigation to your model, to avoid "collisions" with objects in your model. I answered a post recently that explains more about this:

You COULD add a travel task after the unload step in your model, though it will be simpler if you are handling the transportation logic in Process Flow task activities. IF you insist on using the code, you'll need to select the Task Sequence Example 1 option in the drop down where you select transporters, in the Flow tab of your objects. After selecting that option, open up the script (by clicking on the script icon.) And you can see the code/commands needed to call a task sequence, just insert a travel task command at the end of the task sequences.

For your situation, it sounds like a travel network might be more what you're looking for though.
