Assign parent group location to patient label

In this sample model, I have a series of nested location groups (Depts > Pods > Beds). Patients are being moved to the dept with the most beds available. Once a patient gets a location, I'm trying to assign the top level group name (Dept in this case) to the patient so I can use it with A* navigation barriers later on. Would like to allow one barrier to only allow Dept 1 patients thru while another barrier only allows Dept 2 patients thru.

When I assign the label using last acquired location resource, it assigns the current location but I can't figure out a way to get which Dept the bed belongs to. I then need to make sure I can use that Dept label with A*

Thanks

@Michael Zabritski

There may be a way to do this by accessing the parent groups, but I believe a simpler way would be to assign the Dept label directly onto your beds.

Let me know if this would work for what you are trying to achieve.

You can use the Group.isMember(obj, 1) method to find out if an object is a member of a certain group. For example, this code returns 1 if the bed is in Dept1 and 2 if it's in Dept2:

Object bed = patient.Locations[1];
 
if (Group("Dept 1").isMember(bed, 1))
    return 1;
    
if (Group("Dept 2").isMember(bed, 1))
    return 2;
