Agent based model - operator stuck

Hello,

I am learning about the agent-based module and I'm trying to create a simple model where I make the operators transport a few boxes from a Queue to a Sink using process flow, and I created a Proximity behavior that checks if they aren't too close from each other. When the Proximity behavior triggers, it set a label called "tooClose" to 1 and I also have a Social Force Behavior that activates a repulsive-neighbor force when the "tooClose" is 1. But when I start the simulation, the chosen operator does not move, he just stands still in place with the task started. Follow attached my model, so if I'm thinking, or setting up something wrong, please let me know. I found this module really interesting and I would like to learn more about it.

agent_test_model.fsm

Thanks!

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.2.3

You need to have a goal oriented Social Force Behaviour or A* for the navigation to work I think.

Try adding a social force where the goal is the Travel Destination.

Thanks, @jason.lightfoot! I'll try that and bring you updates on how it worked.
