Remove existing waypoint

Recommended Posts

Is there a way to remove existing waypoint?

I can move current wp by SetWPPos to current unit's position, but it doesn't seems to work - the unit always finishes the original WP.

If you syncronize the previous waypoint of the one you've

setwppos'ed with a switch trigger (multiple activation),

and you reactivate the switch trigger (note: to reactivate

a switch trigger, it off course must become deactivated

before) - the unit/group will head over to new destination.

thanks for the advice, but it won't help me

I forgot to mention, i am creating all these waypoints in a script which controlls patrol movement and it's reaction to various conditions. Placing WPs in mission editor doesn't fit my needs.

For some reason it doesn't seem that your 2 posts deal about

the same thing rock.gif

OFP doesn't support anything like createWaypoint - only

manual ordering (move/doMove).

Anywayz - if you use your own created waypoints, this can

only be about move or doMove, and that would be easy to

send a group to a new destination by just assigning a new

move (doMove), which will overrule the previous order.

sorry, i thought it would be clear, but it isn't. Here's the explanation:

When i am talking about 'creating waypoints' i mean using the 'Move' command (which creates a new WP which is used after completing all previous WPs).

DoMove creates new WP and makes it current - when this WP is reached, unit continues it's way through previously assigned WPs.

...if i am not mistaken.

(there is also a command 'SetWPPos' - i didn't tested it, bud i think it should CREATE NEW wp, if the index number you specify is bigger than index of last WP)

...this doesn't solve my problem. I need to delete previous WP, because when you issue new DoMove/Move command, then this new waypoint becomes the current one and AFTER it is completed, the previous WP becomes current again, OR it is activated after all previous WPs are completed (in case of Move) - and that's exactly what i am trying to get rid of.
