For waypoint types description look at

• ArmA: Mission_Editor
• OFP: Mission_Editor

Using Move With a game logic group will move the logic to the set location just like setpos. In the editor only AND and OR type of waypoints are available for GAME LOGICS but you can use CYCLE type as well in setWaypointType. _wp = group logic1 addWaypoint [ getPos player, 1]; [ group logic1, 1] setWPPos getPos player; [ group logic1, 1] setWaypointType "move";

To clear up any confusion regarding the syntax, follow this example where grp01 is the name of a group of AI units: _wp = grp01 addWaypoint [[25295,21919,85], 0]; _wp setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp1 = grp01 addWaypoint [[25381,21882,70], 0]; _wp1 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp2 = grp01 addWaypoint [[ 25332,21782,78], 0]; _wp2 setWaypointType "CYCLE"; //Use the variable (_wp2), not [grp01, 0]

To use the LAND function in a waypoint, you must set "A3\functions_f\waypoints\fn_wpLand.sqf" as the script for that waypoint.

In ArmA 3 1.70.141764, the LOITER waypointType will act as a MOVE waypoint if there are any additional waypoints after the LOITER waypoint.

In ArmA3 1.70.141838, if you add a MOVE waypoint very soon after a LOITER waypoint, ( assuming that the index of the MOVE waypoint is HIGHER than the index of the LOITER waypoint ) then the LOITER waypoint will be considered as a MOVE waypoint. And, if you add another waypoint after ( for example ) more than 1 second after adding the LOITER waypoint, then the LOITER waypoint will NOT complete even when its condition has been met. The only way to quit an existing LOITER waypoint that was added more than about 1 second ago, you will need to use the setCurrentWaypoint command. NOTE about that: the LOITER waypoint ( like any other ) will execute its statement once the setCurrentWaypoint command is used on a waypoint with a higher index than itself.
