How to make AGV stop at each control point for specified amount of time?

This question was asked before, but the solution did not help me.

I have a model of a closed path having 24 control points and 23 AGVs. the agv should stop at each CP for specified amount of time.

@Pinakin K

You can do this by adding way points. A way point is created by:

Click on the AGV network path

Click on AGV network properties

Click on Way Points Tab

Add a way point using the sampler and clicking on a control point on the AGV network

Change Trigger Point to "On Arrival"

Change Trigger Requirement to "Always Fire"

Change Way Point Logic to "Wait for Defined Delay Time"

Then to make the AGV continue to the next control point:

Add "Redirect via Direct Reference" (Make sure to connect the control points with "NextLookForWork")

You can direct the AGV to continue to the next way point by adding "Redirect via Direct Reference." Make sure to add more way points for each control point in the AGV network

I did not get it when you said, Make sure to connect the control points with "NextLookForWork"

Make an "A" connection from one control point to the next one and then select "NextLookForWork"

Here is an example model. Hopefully this is similar to what you are trying to achieve.
