Releases the transporter previously seized by the SeizeTransporter block.
Different policies are available to define the transporter's actions after release (this setting is configured by the Transporter parameter). It can return to its current home location node, move to the nearest home location node (if several nodes were specified in the TransporterFleet block), move to any other specified location or remain where it is.
Transporter can return to the specified location every time it is released and only then move to perform the next task, or it can prioritize the performance of the task (if there is one) over the return to the specified location.
The release operation takes zero time.
All seized transporters must be released before the agent is disposed by the Sink block.

- Defines the behavior of the released transporter. Depending on your choice, the transporter:
Returns to current home location
Returns to the nearest home location (selected from the list of the locations specified in the properties of the TransporterFleet block). Once the transporter returns to the node that satisfies this condition, this node will become the current home location for this transporter.
Goes to... — the location specified in the Destination is parameter
Remains where it isValue type: ReleaseTransporter.TransporterReleaseMovingPolicy
Local variable: Agent unit — the transporter that is currently released by the block Valid values:
ReleaseTransporter.MP_RETURNS_TO_HOME — Returns to current home location
ReleaseTransporter.MP_RETURNS_TO_NEAREST_HOME — Returns to the nearest location

- Defines where the transporter will move after being released. The possible destinations are:
Node — transporter moves to the specified network node

Conveyor — transporter moves to the specified conveyor
Position on conveyor — transporter moves to the specified position on conveyor
Conveyor station — transporter moves to the specified station

Defines the policy of the transporter's return after the release. It can either proceed to perform the next task (if there is one) and return only when no tasks are left for it or always return to the specified location and only then move to perform the next task.Value type: ReleaseTransporter.TransporterReleaseReturnPolicy
