I upgraded Tanner Poulton's model a little.

In order to accomplish this, the people have to be connected to the network. This can be achieved through creating an "A" connect from a Network Node to the Person in a script. I've attached an example of this. It isn't a perfect system because of a slight delay as the person adjusts into the network, but someone might be able to help you smooth it out. I'll also look at ways to improve this method.

Essentially, the most important stuff happens in the Custom Code activity. This is where the "A" connect is created. Then, once the object is moved into the network, they can travel to other locations on the network.

As it was, the Exit1 object was not part of the network, but I created a connection there so it was, too. That way, the person can travel directly to the Exit1 object from within the network.

Hopefully this makes sense. If you have additional questions or comments, please feel free to let me know. Thanks!
