Within the Condition & Statement code string:
  • this refers to the group leader
  • thisList refers to the group's units
While Condition code is evaluated on the group owner's machine, OnActivation code is executed globally, a.k.a on every client! See Waypoints.
Groups:

Within the completion statement currentWaypoint will give the index of the waypoint being completed (as opposed to the following one).

This is particularly useful if you need a self deleting waypoint: _waypoint setWaypointStatements ["true", "deleteWaypoint [group this, currentWaypoint (group this)]"]

The condition block carries the same rules as functions which return a value. The return value must be a Boolean. One can bypass the use of triggers in this manner: _waypoint setWaypointStatements [" code code code; _returnBool", "onActivation block;"];

Mr H.
In MP this command has global effects, and the waypoint statements are called on every client and the server.
