How to keep TE heading towards the direction it is travelling?

Hi all .I'm trying to keep the TE heading towards the direction it is travelling on a two-way path, but the best i can do is to let the TE rotate 180 degrees after unloading ,then as TE starts travelling ,unexpected thing happens , the moment TE finishes it's rotation ,it's facing direction is reversed.(PS: In the real model, there is no more space to make one-way path for TE to turn around.)

A simplified model is attached here. This is also related to AGV Path Accumulation Type settings. agv-heading.fsm

Is there a way to solve this problem?

@meng L So to clarify, you want the AGV to be facing in the direction it is travelling? So once it unloads or loads, you want it to rotate 180 degrees?

Hi @meng L,

I did some research into this, but unfortunately, the TaskExecuter object itself has logic built in that prevents any rotating on the path. Referencing this post, you will find that one workaround is creating a real AGV object that allows a pseudo-AGV to ride on top of it. The "real" AGV would not be changed visually underneath and would handle all the logic, but the pseudo-AGV on top could be rotated. I'm afraid that's about the best I can offer for a solution. Hope it helps! Sorry for the delay in replying, too.
