ok, so i wanted to add 15 moves back and forth on a ship of mine, will be done in a day, but its really easy to mess up if you do 15 by hand, move there, pick up, move back and deliver 15 times smile.gif

So can a repeat button for a group of commands be possible for the editor?

during the editing of my turn, i ran into a few problems and even doing it that way, could be screwed up, if you dont keep track.

So would prefer a repeat command, so that once i knew a group of orders is right, then can i just repeat it a few times.

Could even be like this!
repeat command 15 times selected!
move to !
pick up
move to
deliver
end repeat command

using the repeats for the computers to remember, like how you sequence turns or ships for fleets smile.gif

Issue the 4 orders in the offline editor.

'Save' the orders using the save button on the right hand side of editing the turn. Call it 'temp.trn'. Click Finish.

Open your Phoenix folder, and open 'temp.trn' in Notepad or similar text editor. The turn should look something like:

QUOTE

Position=10773;
TurnType=0;
Password="xxxxx";
Sequence=0,31068224;
Order=3140,0,7377,True; // Move to Starbase
Order=2000,0,7377,1,1600,"",False; // Pickup
Order=3140,0,3662,False; // Move to Starbase
Order=2010,0,3662,1,1600,"",False; // Deliver


Copy the last 4 lines, and paste them directly after multiple times - so you end up with something like:

QUOTE

Position=10773;
TurnType=0;
Password="xxxxx";
Sequence=0,31068224;
Order=3140,0,7377,True; // Move to Starbase
Order=2000,0,7377,1,1600,"",False; // Pickup
Order=3140,0,3662,False; // Move to Starbase
Order=2010,0,3662,1,1600,"",False; // Deliver
Order=3140,0,7377,True; // Move to Starbase
Order=2000,0,7377,1,1600,"",False; // Pickup
Order=3140,0,3662,False; // Move to Starbase
Order=2010,0,3662,1,1600,"",False; // Deliver
Order=3140,0,7377,True; // Move to Starbase
Order=2000,0,7377,1,1600,"",False; // Pickup
Order=3140,0,3662,False; // Move to Starbase
Order=2010,0,3662,1,1600,"",False; // Deliver


Save and close the file. Go back to your offline order editor, and open the turn for the ship. Click the 'load' button on the right hand side, and load 'temp.trn'. Finish the turn, then open it and finish it again (There seems to be a problem with the turn password not registering correctly - this last step corrects it).

There we go, multiple runs of the same orders in one turn.

i did that as well, but making turns it would be more simple and easy to keep track of mistakes, if there was some kind of repeat command still.
