Multipurpose widget in Spring/LUA written by me (aka subionic) to teach players scriptwriting in spring. Tested with spring v0.96. Installation: copy to lua/widget directory.
No documentation attached - everything necessary is inside this readable code :)

lol I accidently didnt disable this widget and forgot about it.
It put all air on roam, and by that... lose all control over it. I was puzzled for a moment. Lost a game due to this.

It is definitely better to train its use with AI then against real players

This script absolutely cannot guarantee win. It only can help a little during battle.
Num-7,8,9 can be used to focus autoatack stream on particular direction. All roaming units are driven by the script. You can selectively disable it by setting hold mode for unit. If you set "repeat" to on then units (particularly builders) also would be excluded from this automation.
Num-. enables fighters base - fighters attack enemy planes (bombers) in triples when they are identified on battlefield.
Num-0 enables com dgun autoattack
Num-4,5,6 (+shift,ctrl) handle area bombing in formation
Num-1,2,3 (+shift,ctrl) handle units movement in legion formation.
There are couple other things like crawling bombs guiding and cloak maintenance that this script can serve.

You haven't considered splitting this widget into many smaller ones?

New version of the widget - improved units targeting and avoidance. Resolved some compatibility issues related to recent spring version.
