Examples
- Example 1:
deleteWaypoint [_grp, 2];- Example 2:
- Because waypoints get immediately re-indexed when one gets deleted, delete them from last to first:
private _group = group _unit; for "_i" from count waypoints _group - 1 to 0 step -1 do { deleteWaypoint [_group, _i]; };

- In order to change the behavior of a unit currently following some waypoints, it is not enough to use deleteWaypoint. To achieve the wanted effect, you should rather use setWPPos to the unit's current position (thereby stopping the unit), and (after a small delay) use deleteWaypoint to remove the next waypoints.

Another (more foolproof) method to avoid the problem of non-deleteable waypoints is to introduce another group (createGroup) and join all units of the present group. A new group will start without any preset waypoints so you can start setting new WPs all over again.
Old group is "_combatGroup", new group is "_combatGroup2"
_combatGroup2 = createGroup east; { [_x] joinSilent _combatGroup2 } forEach (units _combatGroup); _combatGroup2 addWaypoint [getPos player, 25];

To have the unit stop on the spot you need to set its current waypoint where it is and add a little delay, as stated above by Saintolaf so:
group _unit spawn { [_this, (currentWaypoint _this)] setWaypointPosition [getPosASL ((units _this) select 0), -1]; sleep 0.1; for "_i" from count waypoints _this - 1 to 0 step -1 do { deleteWaypoint [_this, _i]; }; };Will stop the group where it is and delete its waypoints.
