Within the completion statement currentWaypoint will give the index of the waypoint being completed (as opposed to the following one).

This is particularly useful if you need a self deleting waypoint: _waypoint setWaypointStatements ["true", "deleteWaypoint [group this, currentWaypoint (group this)]"]

The condition block carries the same rules as functions which return a value. The return value must be a Boolean. One can bypass the use of triggers in this manner: _waypoint setWaypointStatements [" code code code; _returnBool", "onActivation block;"];
