How to skip waypoints?

[King Nothing]

How can I make a current waypoint skipped to another thou it's not visited?

I need this in my mission where the waypoint is only marking a wide area where you have to find something. Then when the object is found the marking waypoint should now be skipped to the next objective thou the waypoint [MOVE] has not been visited. How do I do this?

Can somebody help me?

I can't give you the exact code because I haven't done it before, but I'm pretty sure it's doable.

You can tell your soldiers in the game to move to the next waypoint... so that means there's a way to skip waypoints (look in the online command docs). All you do is put a trigger over the waypoint or something that when the item is found, bump your waypoint to the next one.

Hey Nutbar, can you clarify that a little bit more please. This is something I really want to find out too.

Ok, I've found a way to move the current waypoint from the original place to another for example with markers with these scripts:

1.UnitName lockWP true  ---  now the waypoint is   uncompleteable and marking the area

2.[UnitName, 1] setWPPos getMarkerPos "MarkerName"
---  now the waypoint chances its place to another showing the next objective when the objective is completed. Therefore there should be a condition in this trigger.

3.Now you can unlock this waypoint if necessary if it's not a same kind marking waypoint by:
UnitName lockWP not true

But now I want to know how could I rename or modify this waypoint, at least rename it. Or have you guys found another way? This is the only command wich I have found and I'm sure there's a better way...
