• Missile Defense
• Attack Fighters
• Attack Capitals

Switch Turret Orders V1.1 ZIP package


Installing:

Just copy the scripts and t folder from the ZIP archive to your X3:TC directory.
The script will be installed the next time you start X3:TC. You will receive a message telling you that it has been installed.


Uninstalling:

Open the script editor and run the script "plugin.kb.switch.turret.orders.uninstall". It will remove the hotkey registrations. After that save and exit the game. Remove the script files.


Usage:

1. The script registers 8 hotkeys which you can find in the controls configuration. They are labeled "Set Turret Orders <number>". Use as many as you like. The hotkeys will load a command set for your player ship.
You can use the script to remotely save/load sets for other ships as well. Just use that ships command console. The primary use for this script is the player ship however. That's what I made it for.

2. Define your turret commands like you are used to, for example Front=Attack my Target, Rest=Missile Defense MK2.

3. Save this configuration to one of the 8 slots. To do that enter your ships command interface and choose "Combat". There you can find the command "Save Turret Orders...". Select it and choose a slot where you want to store this configuration. You have 8 slots for each of your ships. So your favorite M2 can have different command sets than your M3+ for example.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for as many command layouts that you wish to store for this ship.

5. Press one of the hotkeys whenever you want to activate the corresponding command layout.
