fixed Serious AI waypoint issues for mission editing since 2.8

[Arashenstein]

Ground units AI is not following the waypoints back to the route (loop) anymore. For example I want a tank to patrol a waypoint unlimited time going from point 1 to 2 and back to 1 and then 2 and the loop continues.

Previously I had to set the waypoint in editor for this unit "Go to Waypoint = 0" at the end of final Waypoint and the unit was endlessly loop patrolling that area.

After 2.8 once the unit reaches the final waypoint it does not return to any specific waypoint mentioned in "Advanced AI waypoint option" anymore. The unit stops at the final stop and does not resume.

I hope ED fixes this because I have worked on a campaign for AH-64D for months and now my entire missions are effected by it as the enemy units stops their patrol and everything goes static in the level.

Thanks!

You're right, there's an issue with the "Go to Waypoint"-option.

In the attached sample mission you find a group of 4 tanks. The group has 6 WPs (0 ... 5), type is set to "On road" each. At WP 5 the tanks are ordered to return to WP 0.

The group follows the WPs as intented on the road until WP 5, after that the group moves towards WP 0, but "Offroad" instead "On road" (issue #1). The group stops shortly before it reaches WP 0, so it won't start again from WP 0 (issue #2).

@Arashenstein: https://forum.dcs.world/forum/815-mission-editor-bugs/ is the better place for this bug report

This was reported a few times already. This should be fixed with the next OB update.

Oh, I've just tried to reproduce and answered but didn't double check for a similar report.
