Addaction Ai Waypoint

[Cockheaven 21]

Hi guys, here's the skinny.

I've got an aircraft with 3 AI crew and one player crew in an MP environment on a dedicated server. That said the player is NOT grouped with the 3 AI crew for REASONS... What I'm trying to do is add an addiction to the aircraft to allow the player to select a position on the map and order the aircraft to Loiter with given radius and altitude.
Here's the code I have at the moment
 

Mother addaction ["Set Orbit",  {
	_this select 1;
	Orbit_set = true;
	hintsilent "Open your Map. Leftclick to set orbit center";
	onMapSingleClick "
	_wp1 = group MotheD addwaypoint [_pos, 0];
	[group MotherD, 1] setWaypointType ""LOITER"";
	_mk1 = createMarkerLocal [""OrbitCenter"", _pos];
	""OrbitCenter"" setMarkerType ""waypoint"";
	[group MotherD, 1] setWaypointPosition [_pos, 1];
	[group MotherD, 1] setWaypointLoiterRadius 2000;
	Mother flyInHeight 1500;
	Orbit_set = false;
	";
	waitUntil{!Orbit_set};
	onMapSingleClick "";
;}
];

So whats happening is, I select the action (as the player) and I receive the hint, however when I click on a position after opening the map nothing happens. I can go into Zeus and verify no waypoint has been created. However; when I alt click on the map the whole aircraft gets teleported to that position... what gives I don't have a getpos setpos anywhere in there I'm totally lost, I was reading something about an EH for this kind of thing but I'm not understanding that, It seems way more complicated than it needs to be.
Thanks!

Mother = the aircraft variable name
MotherD = the driver of Mother (Pilot)

Typo? group MotheD addwaypoint [_pos, 0];

 

On the other hand, you don't need to specify for driver. A simple group Mother  will do the trick.

This is an editor preview feature. You can Alt  + LftClick to teleport about.
