get the activated waypoint's number? (to use with getWPPos)

[wamingo]

hey guys.

I would like to use getWPPos [group, x] and would like to know if there is some dynamic-ish way to get the number "x" of the next waypoint a group is heading to or from ?
x is 1 at the first wp, 2 and the second, etc.

not too fond of the idea of variables, it's too messy...

Hi wamingo. I can think of a few ways to do that, depending on the level of "dynamism" you're aiming at.
Will you like any of them? For what you're saying, no.

The simplest one:

- In the editor, in player's "Initialization" enter "Group1NextWpt = 1;"

- Now go to each of your waypoints for Group1 in the editor, and in the "On Activation" field enter "Group1NextWpt = Group1NextWpt + 1;"

That's it; now the variable Group1NextWpt will hold the number for the next waypoint for Group1. Of course, this has the limitation of being able to keep track of only a single group's next waypoint.
In order to keep track of several groups, you should use an array, applying the basic principle I just described. I'll leave it at that for the time being; just holler if you really want to go there.

Hey, thanks for responding.
Your idea will probably work. I'll have to reset the number when reaching restarting cycles and switches... but at least it's better than the variable hell I had in mind before.
Thanks mate, much appreciated.
