patrol (plts, waypoints)	Makes a pilot patrol a set of waypoints indefinitely
guard (plts, pos)	Makes the pilot go to a certain position and guard it.
setTaunt (plts, tauntmsg)	Sets the taunt message of the pilot.
setNoComm (plts, state, msg)	Sets the no communication message of a pilot.
clear ([allpilots=false])	Tries to clear the system by making all the AI pilots go away.
