How to give zoning for a waiting line from 3 different process flows

I am working on a project in which people will come from 3 different sources to 4 waiting lines, zoning should be done in that waiting line in such a way that only one person should be waiting in each waiting line and no waiting line should be empty at any time of the simulation run. To make my question clear I've attached a sample model designed as the above-said scenario. (3 different processes are necessary, I cant combine the process flow and give common connections for a single walk from 3 different sources)

please find the attachment quea.fsm

I don't really understand why you have to have 3 different processes, but here's one way you could do it. I added a global list in the toolbox and put the 4 waiting lines on the list. Then each person pulls from the list and then walks to the waiting line when they're able to pull one off the list. This way each line only has one person in it at a time.

@Matthew Gillespie Sir, is there any other way to meet my requirement sir? I need people to acquire an empty queue and no queue should be empty throughout the run.

I don’t understand. My answer does that.
