Waypoints?

[sjiraff]

Is there a way to set waypoint markers for aircraft/ship, so that they'll follow the directions you set out?

press f1 and look over the key short cuts might be there.

You select the object (ship, plane, TLAM, TASM etc) you want and then press M. That will show a line from the object to it's next waypoint/target. Shift-Rightclick adds a new target/waypoint to an existing stack of waypoints/targets. You cannot add waypoints to TLAMs or TASMs as they are programed at launch and will not accept commands after launcch. To tell a ship or plane to stop following it's waypoints or intercepting target(s), right-click on it and tell it to either "resume station" or "return to base"

As a matter of cource I always pause the game on startup, click each of my chips, subs and planes, and press M on each one before I begin. Then seledt each plane on launch and press M. You can do this while the game is paused or not paused.

M, then shift and right click. Thanks harlech, I was trying to shift and left click and do all kinds of things but never this.

The first waypoint or target you give an object just needs a right-click; The subsequent waypoints or targets need will need a shift-click if you want them to be executed in sequence. If you right-click (not shift-right-click) on a target or on empty space after your object already has a waypoint(s) and/or target(s) then the sequence of waypoint(s) and/or target(s) will be lost and the sequence will start over with a new waypoint or target. This is true even if your object only has a single waypoint or target.

M is an object-specific toggle; Select an object and then press M once to toggle on the waypoint lines, M again to not show the lines.

Object behavior in the game is not actually affected by the M-toggle function. They will still execute their waypoints with or withought the show-lines function on.
