- Using Group Hotkeys:
This script defines new hotkeys to give orders to groups as defined by the Group Management System. The new hotkeys allow you to give orders to group leaders without going through their command menus.
The hotkeys are divided into 2 groups. The first group allow you to select which group you wish to give orders to. The second group of hotkeys are the orders. These are given to the group selected by the first group of hotkeys.
As an example, to order a group of ships, defined as group 3 by the Group Management System, the order to attack my target. You first press the hotkey defined for Select Group 3 then you press the hotkey defined for Group attack my Target.
The Hotkeys:
Hotkeys Group1
GHK: Select Group 1
GHK: Select Group 2
GHK: Select Group 3
GHK: Select Group 4
GHK: Select Group 5
GHK: Select Group 6
Hotkeys Group2
GHK: Group: Attack All
GHK: Group: Attack My Target
GHK: Group: Protect Me
GHK: Group: Protect My Target
GHK: Group: Hold Position

GHK: Group: Dock At...
GHK: Group: Launch Missiles
GHK: Escorts: Launch Missiles
Tips:
You don't have to select the group number each time you give an order. The last selected group number is remembered until it is overriden by another select group command. If you're only controlling one group, once you've set the group number once, you don't need to be selecting that group number before giving the commands.
GHK: Escorts: Launch Missiles commands ships following you rather than the last selected group, and can thus be used even without defining any groups.
