Hello everyone, I have questions about the conveyor belt.
1)Can the conveyor be shorter? I try to fix it down - can only increase the width and height.
2)I have 2 items on the belt. I want the item that 1 Move to the destination and the 2 item waits at the source until item 1 is removed from the belt, similar to this picture.model-conveyor.fsm
I am unsure of what conveyor you are using. If you place a new conveyor into the model from the library you can normally change the length of the conveyor by dragging the red arrows.
Also to only allow 1 item on the conveyor at a time you can add an On Entry and On Exit trigger to close and then open the EntryTransfer point on the conveyor.
HI @Zac H In my model, use this Conveyor.
From the model you attached, I think it's not the logic I have. What I want is that there are 2 items on the conveyor belt. But the first item will move to the destination. The second item waits on the other side of the destination and when the first item leaves the conveyor belt, the second item will replace.
In my model, I do not have an option to choose that conveyor.
As for the logic, I would recommend placing a decision point at the beginning and make it pause/stop the item until the first item leaves the conveyor. Or you could place a queue at the beginning of the conveyor, set its max capacity to 1, turn it invisible and On Entry change the z location (height) to match the height of the conveyor.
Thank you for the advice. @Zac H Where can I study my decision point? Please introduce me a little more. Thank you.
