The waypoint will be placed similar to <tt>"NONE"</tt> attribute in [[setVehiclePosition]], even if the radius is 0, which means it could still be off center. In order to force waypoint to the exact position, similar to <tt>"CAN_COLLIDE"</tt> attribute, use negative radius, like -1 for example. You will probably laugh at this, but be warned:

If you want AI to understand height of the waypoint, for example set waypoint at the top of Military Cargo Tower, use Example 2, with position in ASL format and -1 radius.
