Stopping and resuming items in stations in conveyors

In the sample model attached, I am trying to send object from first station to second station on the conveyor, only when the second station gets empty.

I have defined a process flow accordingly and set conditions using subnodes.length command. But the logic doesn't seem to work the way I wanted it to. Could you help me in this?

This model should do what you are looking for. Also for referencing subnodes, when an item arrives at a station, it doesn't become a node under it, the item is still a subnode of the conveyor.12978-conveyor-stations.fsm

@Joshua. Perfect. Thank you.

I understand now what sub nodes refer to in stations.

Could you tell me what this ''attrs'' means in your command?

model().find("Station10").as(Object).attrs.state_current.value

attrs is short for attributes. There is a whole list of attrs values that you can pull from or set.
