Line Up transporters
Hi,
I have a few transporters (say, 3), that want them to do some job and when they are done, come and stand in a line. My question is about the final arrangement. The transporter who reaches sooner to the line, will stand in the line as No. 1 and so on. How can I do this lining up? and afterwards that Transporter No.1(here, it means first arrived at the line) leaves, I want, of course, the second transporter in the line to move and replace it. I am thinking about somehow like a conveyor for the transporters instead of flowitems. Thanks for your suggestions. |

You could try just getting them to travel to the same network node but have them block space on the network, and have the network path non-passing.

Here's an example.
The key things are: 1) the travellers should be set to block network space. 2) the queueing node capacity should be set to 1 (Maximum Tavellers at Node) 3) the path should be set to non-passing The 'spacing' parameter of the path (NN4 to NN1 in the example) decides how far apart they sit in line.
