Creating Animation

How can I create an animation where the operator picks up a trolley from one location, moves to a second location to load the first part from first conveyor onto the trolley, then moves to a third location to load the second part from secnd near by conveyor, and finally moves to a fourth location to a combiner, where both parts are combined and loaded onto a conveyor? Is it possible to achieve this without using a process flow, or if a process flow is required, how should I approach it?

You don't have to use Process Flow but it will be much easier than creating the task sequences for this with code.

The only somewhat complex thing is knowing which item to load. I would use a list for this. The rest is just default task activities.

Is it possible to make the operator move along network nodes for travel while handling loading through port connections instead of using a process flow?

Using network nodes (or AGV paths or A*) does not change anything about the Process Flow logic. You just have to make sure that the objects the operator travels are connected to the network.

Using port-connections will require a bunch of custom code to make the operator do the tasks in the correct order. I would recommend against using those here. A Process Flow or manually created task sequences are much more straightforward.
