Change order in an Action Group

[maddog59]

Is there a way to change the order in which different components act when an Action Group is activated?

I have a hinge attached to the body of my ship, with a landing strut attached to the hinge. I want the landing strut to extend first, then the hinge to activate, but even though I select the landing strut first, then the hinge, the hinge action always appears before the strut, and is activated first. I've checked the various menus associated with both parts, and I don't see anything that seems to control priority or placement.

I believe they're all activated at the same time but take different intervals to perform. At any rate, I think you'll just need to split them between two keystrokes and trigger them in sequence yourself. 

Meanwhile, thread moved to Gameplay Questions since it's seeking help rather than offering it.

Thank you; on both points!

Look at the KAL-1000.  This is exactly what that part is for, it lets you pre-program a series of actions, and then you just activate the KAL.

If they are under same key they work alltogether. But You can change speed of execution by tweaking them.

Other way is to use controller.

I second this. The KAL-1000 is the solution for setting things in timed order.
