Hidden & Custom Waypoints

[Ace Productions]

Can somebody explain to me how to create a waypoint that will appear only when I call it in a script or trigger? Also, how can I give a custom name to this waypoint, i.e. instead of "MOVE" to have "REPLACE GUARD"?

there are some recent discussions somewhere around on how to hide waypoints.  i'm not sure if it can be done very easily.

however, to change the name to a custom name, just write whatever you want in the description field of the WP edit screen.

Guys thank you both for your replies.  

@Mooseman
What I really want is a waypoint to appear only when an event occurs in the mission. Let's say:

You are a medic (not a leader) and after a barrage one soldier was wounded in your squad. I want a waypoint to appear directing to the wounded soldier, saying "Treat wounded GI".

Thanks again.

Well i was just playing around with it, and here we go:

Waypoint will disappear if: it's the last waypoint and it's
type is MOVE, and the unit has reached it.

So using switch triggers and setwppos command will do the
job here.

I've created a small example, using two radio-triggers to
show/hide waypoints.

Radio-Alpha will hide the waypoints, while Radio-Bravo will
reactivate them.

The first time you start the mish, it will say: wait for others,
but that's not a bug, that's just because i didn't really want
to put in too much effort in this small sample

Thanks a lot Chris. I didn't have the time to really check it out but thanks a lot for your time.
