New description:

 Waypoints are objects that help a player to find his way through a level.
 There should be several ways to show the player the way. A waypoint
 should:
  * be visible on the radar.
  * be visible in the game:
   * as marking of the waypoint position.
   * as way indicators (easy mode) from one waypoint to another.
  * Trigger an event if the player is in a certain range.
  * Maybe there are multiple types of waypoints. Such that mark a single
 points, other that are a volume in space, ...
  * Be visible only for the player it belongs to. So it needs to have an
 owner
  * Waypoints should be attachable to moving objects like a allied
 spaceship.

 Steps:
 - Learn how to add new C++ classes to Orxonox

 - Write general concept on paper

 - Implement your concept in C++

 - Create a simple test level that demonstrates how to use the waypoints
 such that future level designers may use them

 - Write a documentation page for the Orxonox wiki
