Hi at all.
In my model I have a rack, an elevator and 2 types of task executer (2 shuttle and 2 satellite).
I would like to know how to find the exact position of the task executer when they are not on the ground floor (they can move on x, y - if are on the elevator - and z direction - because the rack can contain more than 1 item on each aisle). This because, based on this information, they have to do different work or going in different way using a "decide" activity.
You can access the objects position using
YourObject.location
which will return the objects x,y,z position. Now there are several things that you might need to do to get the object's location depending on the scenario. If it is part of another object, like you moved it onto the elevator, you need to add it's location to that of the elevators position to get its global position. To reference an object you might need to use this as well so that it recognizes it as an object.
YourObject.as(Object).location
I'm attacching you the model on which I'm working. As you can see, in some "decide" activity I have to send the lift in a particular position. To do this I need to know where it is in that moment.
I hope you can give me a suggestion because I really don't know how to do!!!
I would like to change the 2 activity in the red box and change, consequentelly, the two activity that follow them.
