Description:

Returns the index of the current waypoint (not the waypoint in Waypoint Array format).

To determine the validity of the index, compare it to the waypoints count.
If all waypoints are completed, then the index is 1 greater than the last valid index.
If there are no waypoints, then the index is 0.

By default, a group has one already-completed waypoint at their starting position, making the first waypoint number one, not zero.

Groups:

Waypoints
