This command will crash the game to desktop with no error message (only "stack overflow" is shown in the RPT file) if you call it from the on act field of a waypoint that belongs to that same unit. It also seems to crash in other situations when called from code written in the editor but I couldn't figure out how to reproduce it. Executing a script that will then execute this command does not crash the game, but causes issues that aren't a whole lot worse than crashing - Mostly it seems to somehow overload the server as well as clients which makes other scripts not really function as intended. I suggest never using this command (at least right as a unit reached its waypoint) unless someone knows exactly what is wrong with it and how to avoid it.
Tested on Arma 2 vanilla 1.05. - Ceeeb
- Note that a waypoints number as seen in the mission editor is not the same as it's waypoint number using this command. In the mission editor, waypoint 0 refers to the first placed waypoint, whereas waypoint 0 with the setCurrentWaypoint command refers to the unit's initial position waypoint.

- Does not seem to work with Game Logic as of ArmA v1.08. Crashes to desktop.

- Using this command forces the last waypoint to complete. Any code in the on Act of that waypoint will run.
