Destroy waypoint not linked to a target

[hansen111 12]

Hi all

My RPT log is getting spamed with these (Single Player):

Destroy waypoint not linked to a target: Near target acquisition is slow and may even select friendly unit.

Searched but did not find a clear answer, anyone know what is causing this?

Thanks,

I think it may mean that with the destroy waypoint left on its own without a specific target that behavior of selecting its own target may cause issues. So maybe try adding a specific target for it to look for?

It looks like setting the waypoint completion radius too small was the problem, REMOVING the following line in script seemed to have resolved this issue:

_wp setWaypointCompletionRadius 0.5;

Will report back here if issues continue for future readers having this problem.

EDIT: I later found out this had nothing to do with the problem...read on...

The destroy type waypoint is meant to be attached to a target object, the results of placing it spatially (not attached to any object) are unpredictable.

See the BI wiki - https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Mission_Editor:_Waypoints#Destroy

(this was written based on testing in Arma 1, behaviour may be different in Arma 3 but the RPT message suggests not)

Correct, I have now found the REAL cause of the problem, in my case its actually a BI error in High Command Module. Your RPT error log will be spammed with the above error when setting a Destroy waypoint on enemy hc icon for one of yor hc groups when in High Command Mode (L CTRL + SPACE). That is giving a destroy waypoint for one of your hc groups, the spamming of the RPT log with these errors was so intense that my gaming rig dropped a lot of fps. At least I know what is causing it now.
