Default Variable Operator

Hi Community,

I have a question about the small modell in the attachment. I want, if the Operator has to get a palett, that he first get a palett jack. After loading the palett jack he has to get the palett, travel to a combiner, travel back to a home location, unload the palett jack and go back to the combiner for loading items on the palett. Brandon builds a great model ("XT Variable Operator Travel") where the operator do exactly that, what I want. I Used his sourced code on the Queue named "Qu_Gitterbox_WE_1" at the "Request transport from" trigger. The Operator takes the palett jack, load an palett and brings the palett to the combiner... but after unloading the palett he walks with the palett jack to the origin (x = 0, y = 0). Why??

Thanks for your help

Michael

Hi,

The reason is that you have Travel offset for load/unload task on the palette jack.
If you change Travel offset to Do not travel offset for load/unload task then
the palette jack be left at NN30.
