how to turn over a flowitem in a processor?

I have a processor which has two inputs. With one of the inputs the flowitems (trucks) it enters the processor the way I want - which is straight. But with the second input, connected to the same processor, I need them to enter the processor the opposite way. Simulating the entering and exiting of the trucks in a gate of a facility.

Hi @Annel S.

There are TWO ways to do your doing when using processor object.

One way is 'Not conveying the item' and clear the check field of conveying the item. It shows to stop the trucks during processing time. This way is to use one processor object with two connection.

The other way is to show conveying the trucks in the processor. For that you need to use TWO processors. One is for entering and the other with 180 turned is for exiting the truck. And then each processor should stop the other to process the truck. Use to send message command. Or use one operator as the gate-man in two processors.
