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 Radar instruction instead.

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.
