Crossing NetworkNode with label

Hello everyone.

Today, I need your help in order to make a decision with label in NetworkNode. I think there is an easy way to do that but I don't find it.

I want FlowItem by Source1 go Top path.

FlowItem by Source2 go middle path and FlowItem by Source3 go Bottom path.

Thank you

Here's your model with some changes I made to it. I created 3 different networks. and then stacked them on top of each other, then added an "Unload" trigger to the person which changes the route based on the item type. I also added a trigger to each of the the sources so they would add a Type label to the flow items. each of the paths are connected to the person through a center port connection. The picture below shows the paths before they were stacked. Hope this works.12598-ex5.fsm

Hello, thank for answer.

I really need a crossing but maybe will be easier to use AGV path instead of NetworkNode with Control Point which make decision ?

@Alexis B Can you explain what you mean by crossing? The picture I added might have been a little confusing, the outline of the path in the model I added should look like your photo, I just added my photo to show it's 3 separate paths that look like its one path before I stacked them on top of each other.

I can't move my NetworkNode. But I need a system which Select item with a Label in my token in ProcessFlow. Maybe with a "CustomCode" or "Decide". I don't find a method

@Joshua S

It's working but, I'm really not familiar with Script (1st time I see it). Is it possible to make the same only in ProcessFlow ?

Thanks

@Alexis B

Here are the steps to build it from scratch in your main model.

Create as many separate paths as you want.

Centerport connect your person to the beginning queue first, then center port connect your person to the paths in order order of source Type. don't worry if the lines don't show up, you should see red boxes appear next to the person and they should show up on his center port connections list.

Connect the queues to the ends of the networks.

Make sure your sources are creating some type of label on the objects you are creating, in this case use Type, and correspond their Type number creation to the path you want them to travel down.

add a "On Load" trigger to your person, and use "Reassign Current Node", entering in

current.centerObjects[current.subnodes[1].Type+1]

to the Space next to "NetworkNode".

Then place the networks ontop of eachother.

This should help you apply it to your main model.
