Set Waypoint question

[Parel803]

Good afternoon,

A made lua text from an excel file and run it in the console. ZZ goes to it's postion, 2 other HVU's same and all other sides/players go to there screen position with heading and speed. To get them at game start on course speed I added the first Waypoint.
When I run it the first waypoint is not in the correct position (only for the first) when I run the console a second time they are on the correct position.
Not import I run it twice but would like to learn what I'm doing wrong here.

It looks a bit like this first WP is still from earlier?

best regards GJ

deleted here some units, is in description of scen

When I load the scenario, the courses are already set.
If I clear them, and then run your script, both the unit and group get new courses. Which look like the original ones I deleted.

Am I missing something?

Micheal,
Thx for answering.

I'll check the scenario this weekend.

I did not delete the Waypoints just want to make new ones, so most likely I'm doing somthing wrong.
The script comes from an excel sheet which is filled in before the start of the game, the Screen & WP is based on the preps from others and I want to be more precise and quicker than move them in editor.

At my side it looks like the WP is set after the second time loaded of the text. It is not a big thing, I can load twice but was wondering why I had to do that.

thx again, best regards GJ

Sorry,
uploaded scenario was after twice running.
Retry.
