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 !
see move command.
