So I am attempting to make a civilian PT Boat follow a waypoint path along a beach.
It is starting behind the border where it cannot be seen, and upon issuing a command for it to follow the waypoint path it will move to the path and circle around a single waypoint in the path.
How do I resolve this?

See if this thread will also help you

if this does not help then may I see the map for the problem. 👍

Thankyou for the tips, but yes i have done all of those things.
And thankyou also for the links, they may prove to be useful in my future scripting attempts.
But alas, after some tinkering about I have figured out the problem...
That PT Boat is just too darn picky about how wide the waypoint pathway loop is!
Too narrow and itll do just as I stated above...float around in circles.
It need room to maneuver, for lack of a better word.

I would be glad to let you see the map, but Id rather not post it on here just yet. Ive spent a month just building it with the terrain and objects and am just now beginning to script, so at least not until its halfway finished so people can have a decent time checking it out.
