How to set up a multiple escort for a patient?

I am using the People Module to build a simplified emergency room. After a while the patient can be escorted to the exit. See image below.

The staff needs to be the same as during the emergency plus an extra staff member from tech. Now, I let the staff wait on a content change of the stretcher. The problem is that the content is already increased before the animation of the patient has ended. This means that the rest of the staff already walks to the exit. How can I wait on the end of an animation to synchronize the escort of the patient to the exit.

As an additional question; can it be possible in the future to implement a multiple escort for patients?

Regards,

Abel

All of the People travel activities like Escort Person and Transport Person are already set up to handle multiple travelers. You just have to pass in an array with everyone on it. By default all the staff that you acquire are added to the array on the Staff label so you can just set pass in token.Staff to the Staff field of the Transport Person activity.
