How to create a custom action?

[ITAsimo456]

How i can create a custom action?

I want create an action to use it in action groups for infernal robotics. (Coarse Speed+ and Coarse Speed-)

For action i mean something that i can put it in an action group (Example: lock gimbal, etc)

You would need to program a mod to do that - the preferred language used by KSP modders being C#.

The forum section http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/forums/37-Add-on-Development should help.

I don't know programming etc, can i do it directly from the settings of the mod\ksp? (Personal purposes)

Or maybe there is a mod that permits me this?

Does anyone know? I want to do the same thing

Here you go.

Here you go.

I got ninja'd

I can't live without that mod now that i've grown so used to it. It becomes especially useful in and around a mothership with multiple vessels attached, as hotkeys are likely to move around a bit.

Here you go.

That doesn't work..

The problem here is, when you try to assign a action group and you select said part (Rotatron for me) the only options are

Move+

Move-

Move Center

Lock

And it's the same with that mod!

Isn't there a way to force "Coarse Speed" to show up when assigning action groups?

No you can't you'll need to code.

No you can't you'll need to code.

To what extent? Is it something I type in to the .cfg file or is it something "worse"?

If i'm not mistaken (I haven't used infernal robotics in a while), Course Speed adjustment is supposed to be set during the building phase. The coding involved consists of exposing this function to the right click menu during flight as well, which shouldn't take a while lot.

I'm not sure if I became any wiser and I'm no coder/modder and have no knowledge of how it's done. At this moment, I'm looking at the .cfg file for Mk2 Rotatron and can't find "Coarse Speed" anywhere, not in any of IR's parts. But that son of a ..... got to be somewhere or else it wouldn't show up in the game... this is a "pull my hair out"-moment..

That 'somewhere' would be in the Infernal Robotics .dll. It's a programme. If you can programme you can mod it, or write your own KSP mod. If you can't then you really don't want to be poking sticks at it.

To elaborate on this, it's a .dll most likely mritten in C# (a.k.a. C sharp, a.k.a. Object C). If you read up on some basic C# syntax and the fundamentals of object oriented coding (in any language, really) you'll probably learn enough to alter someone elses code in a day or two.
