Default Task Executer turns by 180 degrees when it arrives at a final node

I have a problem with task executer: the task executer has to follow a network of nodes, but when it arrives at the final node it turns around by 180 degrees, instead I want that the transporter comes back in reverse way. The transporter has to follow a path and if I uncheck "the rotate while travelling" the transporter does not follow the curves of the path.
Thanks in advance for any support.

Hello Carlo,
maybe you use a trigger in your taskexecuter:
Code:
setvarnum(current,"modifyrotation",0);
Or you use the triggers of your networknodes, then the current is the traveler.
Code:
if(fromedge==1) setvarnum(traveler,"modifyrotation",1);// turn rotation on again
Maybe the from edge code is different in your model depending on the edge the traveler is coming from.
Jörg

Or use the AGV module. It is designed to handle this type of behavior.
