Mod for High Command?
I was searching and couldn't find any recent and up to date mods, but only found some that kindof do what I want to do, but then also alot of things I didn't want because of interference with other mods.

Specifically I am looking for a high command mod that adds the waypoints that are available in Eden Editor to be used with HC squads.

Things like patrol, where you can just have a squad wander around in perpetuity, or the search and destroy waypoint, aswell as land and the logistics waypoints for lifting and setting down cargo.

If there is no such thing I might actually get desperate enough to make my own mod, although I have not dabbled in arma scripting in years and I am a pretty big noob.

So if anyone has seen a mod like that or thinks thats an easy enough thing to do it would be highly appreciated.

It should NOT inlude all the available waypoints to not clutter the menus further.
Only things that make sense in a combat environment as follows

Follow
Guard
Lift load
Lower load
Land (exists as a script)
Search and Destroy

CBA also has a module called patrol, so I wonder if that could also be a cycling waypoint with a set radius or maybe 3 options set as a radius like 100m 200m 300m
Probably has to implemented as a new script aswell.

Anyways, thats the functionality I am looking for, and it would make high command alot more enjoyable, especially with games that use alot of high command like antistasi.

Because right now, if you do not constantly give orders to a quad they will just sit there and do nothing, I am looking to offload more of the micromanagement of the movement and behaviour to come from the AI squadleaders.

Have you tried that All-In-One Command Menu mod? It has high command functions in it and from what I've used so far it handles things like lifting and landing vehicles pretty well. I haven't tested how it actually plays with high command mode, but might be a good starting point for you.

You can give different waypoints in High Command. If I remember correctly, give a waypoint, and then right click on the waypoint, and you get options for different waypoints, and speeds, and formations.

Oh wow thats exactly what I was looking for, but I thought you can choose that as a task when setting the waypoint initially.
Damn thats so well hidden and undocumented. Thank you!

The vanilla High command has everything thats needed. All high command mods have bugs and issues.

Source: 5000 hours in Arma3 tried all of them alot,settled to use HC vanilla. I suggest HC transport mod to allow groups ride in crewed vehicles.
