Description

Description:

Attempts to move given waypoint to a random position inside a circle with the given center and radius. The waypoint will be placed similar to "NONE" attribute in setVehiclePosition, even if the radius is 0, which means it could still be off center. In order to force waypoint to the exact position, similar to "CAN_COLLIDE" attribute, use a negative radius (see Example 2).

Groups:

Waypoints

Syntax

Return Value:

[_grp, 2] setWaypointPosition [position player, 0];

If you want AI to understand height of the waypoint, for example set waypoint at the top of Military Cargo Tower, use Example 2 with position in ASL format and -1 radius.
