Waypoint Path Generator

Opens via Tools › Waypoint Path Generator.

Automatically generates a waypoint path whose points are arranged in a geometric shape around a center point. Useful for creating patrol circuits, orbit paths, and similar regular formations without placing each point by hand.

Fields

FieldDescription
NameName assigned to the generated waypoint path.
Center pointThe origin around which all points are placed. Enter coordinates manually, or select an object from the drop-down to use its current position as the center.
AxisThe axis the shape revolves around. For example, choosing the Y axis produces a flat horizontal ring; choosing X or Z tilts it upright.
Number of pointsHow many waypoints to place per loop around the center. Total waypoints created equals points × loops.
LoopsHow many full revolutions around the center point the path makes. Combined with Number of points, this produces a helix or spiral when Drift is also set.
RadiusDistance from the center point to each generated waypoint.
DriftOffsets each successive point by this amount along the chosen axis, perpendicular to the revolution plane. A non-zero drift turns a flat ring into a helix.
Variance (X, Y, Z)Adds a random offset to each point's coordinates. The X, Y, Z values set the approximate maximum displacement in each axis; the actual offset applied to each point is randomized within that range. Use this to break up overly regular paths.
