Description:: Sets the path to follow for AI driver. Note that unitReady will return true even if AI is still driving through the points.
Using any other move command (e.g vehicleName move getPos vehicleName) or doStop will stop the effect of this command.
⚠
This command doesn't work on air vehicles and boats. Only land vehicles are compatible. (cars, tanks, APCs, etc.)

ⓘ
For the command to work properly, the unit must either be an agent, or in the case of normal AI, have been stopped using doStop.
Groups:: Object Manipulation

Syntax:: vehicleName setDriveOnPath points
Parameters:: vehicleName: Object
: points: Array - list of Positions to format [x,y,z] OR to format [x,y,z, speed], speed being in m/s.
Return Value:: Nothing

Example 1:: myVehicle setDriveOnPath [getMarkerPos "wp1", getMarkerPos "wp2"];
Example 2:: _points = allMapMarkers apply { getMarkerPos _x; }; // getting all marker positions { _x pushBack 15; } forEach _points; // setting speed myVehicle setDriveOnPath _points;

Leopard20: To use this command, the AI must not have a formLeader. The easiest way to achieve this is to use doStop to stop the AI (warning! it'll break the AI waypoints)
