Reading ship data from KSP

[Astral_Nomad]

Hey guys... I see all these mods that can access the status/fuel levels/altitude/attitude of a rocket in game. How is this data being accesed? I mean, I know its using a DLL -- thats kind of obvious; but what hooks are people using? is there an SDK that lists all the variable names, orrrrr?

Thanks.

Take a look in the Add-on Development section, and the Plugin Development Help and Support section within.

thank you.

You probably want to go here to get started with plugins. That and looking over the code of other mods on the forum will get you going.

The hooks are

90% trial and error,

10% looking at others' source code to see how they did it.
