Creating Waypoints on Other Planets or Naming Waypoints

[DrBrydon]

They /waypoint command includes two options that are not publicized: You can create a waypoint on another planet (than the one you are on), and you can name waypoints when creating them.

Thanks to Blabba and Mistral for letting me know you could create them for other planets, and to Blabba for helping me trouble-shoot.

1) To create a waypoint on another planet the syntax is: /waypoint planetname xxxx 0 xxxx

The planet name must be lowercase. The planet names are straightforward (if you can spell) except for Dromund Kaas, which is just Kaas, and Yavin 4, which is yavin4, per the name on the Shuttleport planet list.

Example: /waypoint kaas -5116 0 -2340

The zero is required for other planets, but will not work for the planet you are on.

2) To create a waypoint with a name the syntax is: /waypoint xxxx xxxx name

The name can be more than one word; I've done it up to ten words.

NOTE: These two options are incompatible; you cannot use both a planet name and a waypoint name. :-/

If you wish to create several waypoints at once, use a semicolon between them.
