Action group to change control point

[Darth Pseudonym]

I don't think there's a way in the core game to have an action group change the current "control from" part. Is there a mod to do this, perhaps?

Specifically, I have a ship with VTOL capability, but while I have an action group to lower the gear, kill the main drive, and enable the vertical jets, I have to manually switch control to the dorsal docking port so the engines will align with the retrograde marker, and then remember to switch back to the cockpit before trying to take off.

Haven't got the game running to look at the action groups, but a possible workaround is to have the right click box open and (and separated so it stays open) for the two points.

Highly recommend this mod by @Diazo I originally got it for my VTOL, but it's great for many things:

I can't confirm weather or not it will do what you're asking though. You can check/ask this question on the thread above

@Darth Pseudonym I will confirm that ModActions does in fact add the Control From Here option as an action on all command capable parts and docking ports.
