Special Waypoints?

<div class="IPBDescription">Am I missing any?</div> I wondering if anybody knows the full range of waypoints you can give to a marine, and how you do them. These are the ones I know so far:

Move - click on a floor location
Build Structure - click on an unbuilt structure
Defend Target - click on a built structure/marine
Attack Target - click on a visible alien
Pick Up Weapon - I've only ever heard this one, I didn't get to see the icon and I've never been able to target a dropped weapon myself

Are there any more, and does anyone know how to get the weapon WP to work?

    There's also a 'Weld target' waypoint, but I've never heard of the 'Pick up weapon' one <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    There's also an 'Ignore waypoint and go die and lose your HA/GL', I tend to use this one on my troops the most apparently <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I enjoy the 'I've selected 3 of you but I want 2 of you to ignore this and go where you like because you're probably scouting or something, and if you survive actually head where you were supposed to 2 minutes late, and die because you don't have any backup' waypoint. It's a big wav file

    I've heard and seen all of those other than "pick up weapon." I'm curious as to how you do that.

    Some recorded sounds were later scrapped functionality - e.g. Comprox's "deploy camera at waypoint." ^^

    I definitely heard that one in-game, and I've never been through the wav files in my NS directory. Maybe you need to be super-accurate clicking on a HMG? It was on... the map with the unnamed hive and the mess hall. (Is it me or does the Ready Room method of choosing teams mean that nobody knows half the map names?)

    get equipment at waypoint is hard to pull off. i dropped a welder and a marine didnt see it so i right clicked on it and it played that sound. but i have right clicked on equipment in the past and no sound, you just have to click RIGHT on it.

    Yeah, the 'get item at waypoint' is a little flukey and hard to get to play. I just tell them to move next to it and tell them over voice comm to grab the welder there.

    Incidentally, some l337 comm managed to give me a WP to defend myself the other day, while dropping ammo left right and center instead of giving us an Armory (or an IP for that matter). You haven't seen annoying until you have a waypoint constantly in your face

    There is an "attack target" waypoint, avliable if you right click on an alien. This was really usful to me one time. I was in the satcom hive. There was a skulk on the celing, in my marine's line of sight, so I could see it (I was com), but they didn't notice it. So I selected the two marines in satcom, and rightclicked the skulk, while yelling THERES A SKULK UP THERE over voicecom.

    The skulk never knew what hit him.


    EDIT: I somehow managed to apend "I was com" with "qas com". I think it's because I'm a little hungry.
