How to make operator climb stairs?

I'd like for the operator to unload items by traveling up the stairs to the unloading location. warehouse-example.fsm

@Kari Payton,

The only way I know how to do something like that is to use a network for the Operator to travel on. I added a network to your model (see attached) that doesn't work perfectly but should give you a good idea on how to do it. You could go so far as to add a network node to each step of the stairs if you want to go that far.

Yeah I figured. Just wanted to check if it could be done with a bridge or something using AStar. Thanks!

You can set a Z height on nodes of a bridge, but A* only allows a single level of nodes, and the bridge must begin and end on that level. The bridge is meant to get operators up an over obstacles, rather than taken to the next floor.

@Jeff Nordgren could you please tell me how you implemented the stair? I would like to use some stairs to simulate people in a warehouse climbing from one level to the other. How can I import stairs into my model. Thank you sir.
