Staging tutorial

[BBcokeley]

Been playing a while, couldn't find any decent thorough tutorials on staging, want to get my ship to deploy arrays in one click, use science etc in one click, real struggling ith it, as I seem to create these action groups but have no idea how to use them, or if they are even set up correctly.

thanks in advance

Hi BB, and welcome to the forums! To answer your question: I'm assuming you know where the action groups tab is (correct me if I'm wrong). The list includes Custom Group 1-10, simply click on one of these groups, then click on the part you want to assign to that group. The 3rd window will now show a list of actions that part (or parts if you attached multiples at the same time, eg. 4 x solar panels with 4x symmetry) can perform. Click on the action you want, that action is now set to that action group. These custom groups are mapped to your numeral keys 1-0 on the keyboard, so for example, if you've mapped "toggle solar panels" to custom group 1, pressing 1 in-flight will extend the panels, and pressing 1 again will retract them. I'm not sure if it's just the numbers on the top of the keyboard, or if you can use the numberpad as well, I'm going to try that actually...

Hope this helps!

LOL, cheers, so ridiculously easily straightforward, I overlooked the number keys, how silly of me, thanks for that.

Would make sense seeing as they are mapped to 1-0 custom keys.

Will try tonight on a ship just plastered in stuff to get a feel for it.

Regards

Matt.

No probs. I only found out how to set up action groups after a month of playing. Now I can't manage without them!
