In game versions prior to Arma 3 v1.22: If you add a waypoint to your group and then want them to start moving to that waypoint, make sure to call setWaypointType "MOVE" on your waypoint.

In VBS2 1.30, the randomization of addWaypoint doesn't seem to work correctly all of the time.
The alternative syntax of addWaypoint with a specified index doesn't seem to work correctly.

if you want to create a waypoint of type "MOVE" and set it as actual waypoint, you can use the move command that does everything for you with only one line of code !
