Description:: Attempts to move given waypoint to a random position inside a circle with the given center and radius.
ⓘ
If you are looking for the command to set precise WP position, see setWPPos

The waypoint will be placed similar to "NONE" 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 "CAN_COLLIDE" attribute, use negative radius, like -1 for example. You will probably laugh at this, but be warned:

⚠
When using negative radius, the center position supplied must be PositionASL, only then the resulting waypointPosition will be in format PositionAGL and not buried under the ground ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Groups:: Waypoints

Syntax:: waypoint setWaypointPosition [center, radius]
Parameters:: waypoint: Array - format Waypoint
: [center, radius]: Array
: center: PositionAGL or Object (or PositionASL if the radius is negative)
: radius: Number - random placement radius in meters. Set it to -1 and convert center to PositionASL for the exact center placement.
Return Value:: Nothing

Example 1:: [_grp, 2] setWaypointPosition [position player, 0];
Example 2:: Exact placement (see description): _wp setWaypointPosition [getPosASL player, -1];

killzone_kid: 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.
