Having a separate WaypointManager C# script class to simply swap between Capsule-waypoint-0 and Capsule-waypoint-3 may have seemed to be a bit heavy duty and a case of over-engineering, but this was actually a very good move. An instance object of the WaypointManager script class has the job of returning the next waypoint.
