Conditional Barriers for patients (w/ or w/o staff)

We would like to set up a conditional barrier that allows staff only to pass through. Currently we have a condition rule for 'staff only' stated below. This works for staff (allowing them to pass through), however it also allows patients escorted by staff to pass through. We would like to limit this to only staff, and force patients traveling with staff to go another way.

treenode traveler = param(1);
/**Staff Only*/
return !isclasstype(traveler, "People::Staff") || traveler.TravelingWithPatient?;

Any help would be appreciated.

This is exactly how the Staff Only condition works. Do you have a model where this isn't working for you?

Here's a simple model that shows it working as you described:

StaffOnly.fsm

Matthew, you're example works exactly as we would like. However when I apply that to our model it does not limit staff escorting patients to go around like your model does. Note our 'Rule 1' is 'Staff only'

@Troy M3

From your screenshots it doesn't look like the grid is being affected by that barrier (the yellow pluses are full pluses and aren't missing any sides). Can you attach your model?
