How to identify the Sun when it's been renamed?

[linuxgurugamer]

Some planet packs rename the sun (Galilio's among others).  How can I identify which CelestialBody is the sun?

Thanks

Depends. If someone moves the stock sun to orbit another body (like the galactic core from GN), do you want to get the sun Kerbin is orbiting, or the *true* central body of the system?

Bit of a hack but I found (in limited testing) that crawling up the parent body chain until I found a body with a temp over some limit (think I used 2000) seemed to work. Not sure how low some of the extreme low mass stars can go, or how high a hot Jupiter can go, but 2K should be near the lower limit for a star. This of course assumes the mod star has a realistic temperature.

That will work, thank you!!

That's the best way if you need to find it starting from scratch.

If you already have a reference to a CelestialBody and need to determine whether it's the Sun, I found that the Sun is the only body that is its own referenceBody (I would have preferred null, but oh well).

    bool isSun(CelestialBody body) { return (body.GetOrbit().referenceBody == body); }
