Detect Fairing Deploy

[Heed]

Any ideas how to hook up to the ModuleProceduralFairing.DeployFairing call?

My FlightOperations mod needs to track fairing deploy and jettison events. They don't seem to fire any obvious global events. Any ideas? I suspect the answer for this will apply to a great many of the part events I need to connect to.

Just double checked - GameEvents.onVesselWasModified fires when I stage a stock fairing. Downside - would then need to check that the fairing had changed and not something else.

GameEvents.onVesselChange is another possibility - don't remember what the difference is - someone (JPLRepo?) explained the difference - is also fed a vessel so same downside.

GameEvents.onVesselChange is fired when you switch vessels.
GameEvents.onVesselWasModified is fired when a vessel is modified for various reasons. One of those reasons includes when the fairings are deployed.
When that occurs, you could check the vessel passed in. Then you could look at the Part Modules and the ModuleProceduralFairing.Panels list. If it's empty, guess what?

Ahh! I was confusing this with something else -  have a dim memory (imaginary?) of another event that triggered on a change to a vessel but didn't cover as many situation - or something like that.

I figured the down side was that to act like an event you would need to track this so you only process this the first time you find it jettisoned. Then there's always the possibility of multiple fairings so stopping the check after the first time wouldn't be an option. But ModuleProceduralFairing.Panels list - good to know - thanks.
