Ok, I go through the above steps, and i can create an action group to extend a single solar panel, BUT ONLY if i click on the actual control button thru the AGX menu, it does not work on the key i selected on the keyboard (*alpha1* ((AKA the !@#!%ing "1" key, seriously, you know how long it took me to realize what alpha1 means?!?))).
So panel goes out only if i click the button manually, ok whatever, SO NOW i got to make a 2nd action group to retract solar panel, and it works as well (only by clicking button)
And now here is where the problems are:
I cant get either of these actions to work EVER AGAIN, its just the one time that i can get it to work, they wont work if i create 2 buttons with one for retract/extend, they only do their job once. AND EVEN FURTHER, when i create/wipe-recreate these same action groups, NOTHING works anymore, not even by clicking manually on the AGX menu (*let alone with the actual keys i want to use in the first place)
And this is still not the ideal situation that i want, as stated above im trying to get 8 engines split 4/4 to be on/off with the toggle of a single button....
Ive done this IN VAB WITH REGULAR ACTION CONTROLS BEFORE, BUT I NEED TO DO IT WITH A SHIP LAUNCHED IN FLIGHT/ORBIT, not yelling here, just emphasizing what my end goal is here.
TLDR;
Toggle engines or solar panels, or ANYthing using this mod MIDFLIGHT for a REUSABLE action key.
Let me know with any feedback or questions to answer to help pinpoint what i might be doing wrong in the setup.
