Hello people, I present you an attempt of mine to make the Clamp-O-Tron docking port stageable by giving it the ability to have something attached to the port. Currently, though, I have two problems: 1. I have changed the complete part cfg, but I think it should be possible by just applying a MM patch to it. 2. It is possible to attach to the closed shield. Of course that's stupid and immersion breaking - does anybody know whether it is possible to only attach it to the closed shield? Or is that outside of the editor capabilities? This is the code, I basically just copied some parts from the regular docking port to the shielded one's: PART { name = dockingPortX module = Part author = MBennock mesh = model.mu rescaleFactor = 1 node_stack_top = 0.0, 0.2828832, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1 node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -0.005308203, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1 node_attach = 0.0, -0.005308203, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1 TechRequired = advMetalworks entryCost = 8400 cost = 400 category = Utility subcategory = 0 title = Shielded Docking Port description = This one can be used opened.
