I am making a fully automatic rocket with a reusable first stage, similar to the falcon 9. I have the first stage launch, then gravity turn, then detach, and do a boost back burn. The problem is the second stage code tries to run in the very beginning of the launch, even though I not controlling that command chip. How do I make the second stage code only run when I switch to it?

@JSO18 thats a bit more difficult to get right, i just let it fly and it was waiting for the next altitude flag or whatever it was waiting for on the ascend untill it got out of draw distance. Then when switching back to it, it just continued what it was doing.

@Insanity thanks! I want to do a boost back burn before I start the upper stage code. Do you know if the upper stage will wait to use the code until I switch to it if I use a broadcast block?

What i did was let the booster broadcast a message to the craft just before detaching. The upper stage would recieve the message and then start its code.
