destroy-waypoint on a dynamically created unit

[roguetrooper 2]

I want to set a destroy-waypoint on a dynamically (createvehicle) created unit for the player's group (MP).

The spawned unit has the name "target". The target is a stationary soldier and does not move. Everything works fine so far with

_grp addwaypoint [position target,0];
[_grp,1] setwaypointtype "DESTROY";
[_grp,1] setWaypointDescription "DESTROY";

These are the problems:

1. On the HUD you only see "Move" (Bewegen) instead of "Destroy". I want it to be displayed as "Destroy".

2. The waypoint disappears, when your group is near the target. But I want it to disappear ONLY, when the target is dead, no matter how near the player's group is.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

did you ever work this problem out?

Did you try waypointAttachObject command?

This will keep the Destroy Target visible and it will move with the target.

while {alive target} do
{
_wp = _grp addwaypoint [position target,0];
_wp setwaypointtype "DESTROY";
_wp setWaypointDescription "DESTROY TARGET";
_grp setCurrentWaypoint _wp;
sleep 2;
deletewaypoint _wp;
};


hint "The target has been killed!";
deleteWaypoint _wp;
