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)]"] - Posted on May 9, 2017 - 16:35 (UTC)

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;"];
