Editing Instructions/Set to Component

{{Instruction_Top}}

==== Description ====

Used to set a value to a component register with a specified index.
==== Uses ====

Can typically be used to set a Turret, Repair Component, Deconstructor or Miner to a specific target, but for Radar, it is probably advisable to use the [[Instructions/Radar|Radar]] instruction instead. Can also be used to set the production recipe for factory buildings.

Indexes 0 and 1 are both treated as index 1.

A component seldom has multiple input registers, but for the few that exist, any number from 1 - n can be used to specify what index to write data to.

In its most dynamic usage, it can be used to write directly to the parameters from another Behavior Controller, which can have a theoretically infinite amount of parameters.

The third argument (Group/Index) specifies the 1-based index of the component to set from the list of components when filtered by the Component/Index argument.  

Take for a building with the components below:

In this example setting Component/Index to an Assembler the possible values for Group/Index are only 1. If you set Component/Index to Fabricator the possible values for Group/Index are also only 1 as there is only one Fabricator slotted in this building.
