Hi,
Do the following: 1) Drag in a network node (anywhere) 2) connect the crane to the netork node (A connection > red line apperas) 3) reset and run the model, an error will appear (about not reaching a destination). 4) delete the network node, lLeaving the model as it was. But now you will see the crane move to the machine when it is requested. |

Because the Crane is not connected to a navigator, it doesn't do travel tasks. To get a crane to travel, it must do offset travel (traveltoloc, tavelrelative, load, unload).
DJ's solution is a kludge that connects the crane to the DefaultNavigator so that it responds to travel tasks. Attached is another solution. I modified the "Use Operator with Animation" pick option in the Pick Operator trigger so that it creates a custom task sequence that uses TravelToLoc instead of Travel. This is how you should call a crane for setup or processing time. |
