Let me explain a bit more. Right now I'm playing with 1x M6 as my player ship + 2x TMs with 4x M3s each.
Right now, to begin combat I need to:
- Hit the ADS config Key
- Select my first TM
- Expand the "Command Panel"
- Click "ADS: Send Defensive Wing" which opens the universe map
- Select my current sector
- Select my player ship
- Click "Launch Wing"
- Scroll Down to the list of ADS Carriers
- Select my second TM
- Expand the "Command Panel"
- Click "ADS: Send Defensive Wing" which opens the universe map
- Select my current sector
- Select my player ship
- Click "Launch Wing"
- Close the window
What I'd like to happen is more like this:
- Pre combat
- Have some way to designate all my "Tactical" carriers.
- A menu would be OK, but so would a hot-key with the carrier selected.
- I'm guessing these would get stored in an array? I'm still VERY new to how the X3 script engine works.
- During, or right before combat
- Hit 1 key and have all my "Tactical" carriers launch defensive wings with my player ship as the target.
- Post combat
- Hit 1 key and have all my "Tactical" carriers recall their defensive wings.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
I'm guessing I need to know these things:
- How to bind a Hotkey to call a script.
- How to define an array
- How to assign ships to that array
- How to remove specific ships from the array, or how to delete it and start again
- How ADS formats its script calls.
- How to call the "Send Defensive Wing" command, for all ships in the above array, with my player ship as the predefined target
- How to call the "Dock all Ships" command for each ship in the above array.
