is it possible to change the travel location, when the AGV is travelling?

I want to change the travel location of the AGV when it is already traveling to a different location.

I'm using process flow for this. The agv would start travel by going to B, but when it passes 1, it should directly go to A, without traveling to B. The attached model does not make that happen.

Thank You!

You can do this with a little bit of custom code:

Object TaskExecuter = Model.find("TaskExecuter1");
treenode t = createemptytasksequence(TaskExecuter, 0, PREEMPT_AND_ABORT_ACTIVE);
inserttask(t, TASKTYPE_DELAY, NULL, NULL, 0, STATE_IDLE);
dispatchtasksequence(t);

This code will create an empty task sequence (it includes a delay of 0 seconds) that will preempt and abort the previous task sequence (traveling to B). By adding this code after the "Wait for Event" and before directing the AGV to travel to point A, the AGV's destination will be changed when it reaches point 1 so that it travels to point A instead.

Here's your model with this code added in: changedestination.fsm
