How It Works

1. work() - Called every frame:
   • If cur is set:
     • Triggers guihooks.trigger('WayPointChange', {current, count}) for the waypoint HUD.
     • Sets generic mission data via ui_apps_genericMissionData.setData() with:
       • title: "missions.missions.general.checkpoint" (translation key)
       • txt: "cur / max" formatted string
       • category: "raceCheckpoints"
       • style: "text"
       • order: 100
   • If cur is nil:
     • Triggers guihooks.trigger('WayPointReset').
     • Clears the generic mission data for category "raceCheckpoints".

Lua Code Example

-- Show checkpoint 3 of 10:
guihooks.trigger('WayPointChange', { current = 3, count = 10 })
ui_apps_genericMissionData.setData({
  title = "missions.missions.general.checkpoint",
  txt = "3 / 10",
  category = "raceCheckpoints",
  style = "text",
  order = 100,
})

-- Clear checkpoint display:
guihooks.trigger('WayPointReset')
ui_apps_genericMissionData.setData({
  category = "raceCheckpoints",
  clear = true,
})
