Multiple Unload points using network nodes

multiple-unloading-points-query-network-nodes.fsmHow can I make the task executer to unload items at multiple unload points (without process flow) using network nodes connections. Please have a look at the attached model.

Attached is your model with the changes that I've made. I changed the code in the Use Transport field to be a manually created task sequence that does what you describe. Take a look at the model and see if this is what you are looking for.

Thanks @Jeff Nordgren for your reply. But this can work if I have only one pickup location but if I have multiple pickup locations across the plant with multiple AGVs (let's say 15) , AGVs will block each other while unloading at same location. So I want a mechanism where I will have three unload points and first AGV to arrive at the unload station will choose the farthest point to unload so the downstream AGV can unload at the second point available and third AGV will unload at third. So at a time I have to unload three items without blocking each other.

Essentially I need same unload mechanism that happens with AGV process flow template with two or more drop off points, but I have some other issues with process flow so I am using good old network nodes. But I stuck here with this issue. Any ideas or solution will be appreciated.
