KSPField vs KSPEvent - externalToEVAOnly

[Warezcrawler]

I have a KSPField with the UI_ChooseOption user interface attached. Now I would really like to make it so, that it was only available on EVA. However, it turns out the KSPField does not have that feature, but UI_ChooseOption cannot be used with KSPEvents since it will not accept a method....

What can be done. I considered simply hiding the UI in flight unless I was on EVA. However, I am not sure how to do that.

Spoiler

I currently have this:        

[KSPField(guiActive = true, guiActiveEditor = true, isPersistant = true, guiName = "MultiMode")]
[UI_ChooseOption(affectSymCounterparts = UI_Scene.Editor, scene = UI_Scene.All, suppressEditorShipModified = false, options = new[] { "None" }, display = new[] { "None" })]
public string ChooseOption = string.Empty;

Does anybody know a nice way to have the above, or something similar to be bound to EVA.

Alternatively, can anybody advice on how to detect EVA? And which events to subscribe to to detect it.

Put something into an Update ()  function that checks to see if you are EVA or not.  If so, enable it, otherwise disable it.

Lots of mods do this, just search for Events in a mod's code (events is capitolized).  On a phone now, otherwise I'd post an example

Thanks... But how do I check if I'm on EVA. The states is just landed, or space etc.

I will go through some mods, but if you know it would be a great help. Maybe I should start with eva enhancements, it must need to do this detection.

You want to look at:  EVAEnhancementsBehaviour.cs

Also look at EVAParachutes

and DangIt (it uses Events a lot)

But the simplest way is one of the following:

if (FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel.vesselType == VesselType.EVA)

or this:

 if (vessel.isEVA)

Ahh.... Vessel type... I didn't consider that. Brilliant! Thanks.

And thanks for the other references, I'm sure they will come in handy while figuring out how best to approach implementing this thing.
