Hey guys -- not sure if this is in the right area so appologies in advance if it isn't:
Xenon is slow and it consumes all active fuel tanks while running so I thought I'd give krpc a go to asparagus stage my tanks (spaceprobe below). I got the tank removal once they're empty working but since I've disabled all tanks for staging I am now struggling to enable them.
Here is the code I am using at the moment:
import krpc, operator
# generic setup
conn = krpc.connect(name='xenondump')
vessel = conn.space_center.active_vessel
tanks = {}
# autopilot pointing prograde
ap = vessel.auto_pilot
ap.reference_frame = vessel.orbital_reference_frame
ap.engage()
ap.target_direction = (0,1,0)
# gets list of remaining xenon tanks
def gettank():
stack = [(vessel.parts.root, 0)]
while len(stack) > 0:
part,depth = stack.pop()
if part.name == 'xenonTankLarge':
tanks[part] = depth
for child in part.children:
stack.append((child, depth+1))
# enable next tank
def nexttank():
exiter = 0
for tank in tanks:
if tanks[tank] == max(tanks.values()) and exiter == 0:
print('enable new tank here')
exiter = 1
def removeemptytank():
for decoupler in vessel.parts.decouplers:
if decoupler.part.children[0].mass - decoupler.part.children[0].massless == 412.4999940395355:
decoupler.decouple()
nexttank()
# main loop
while True:
gettank()
removeemptytank()
ap.wait()
At "print('enable new tank here')" I am trying to run something like tank.resources.enabled = True but I have no idea. (https://krpc.github.io/krpc/python/api/space-center/resources.html)
Again, sorry if this is in the wrong place -- any hints would be greatly appreciated!
