Spawning from a ProtoCrewMember

[rhoark]

I'm trying to put a kerbal in the world given a ProtoCrewMember. Doing some cargo cult programming looking at what ContractConfigurator does, I came up with this:

ProtoCrewMember protocrew = [etc...]
var flight = ShipConstruction.GetUniqueFlightID(HighLogic.CurrentGame.flightState);
var crew = new ProtoCrewMember[1];
crew[0] = protocrew;
var parts = new ConfigNode[1];
parts[0] = ProtoVessel.CreatePartNode("kerbalEVA", flight, crew);
var nothing = new ConfigNode[0];
var orbit = new Orbit(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,vessel.mainBody);
var position = vessel.GetWorldPos3D();
orbit.UpdateFromStateVectors(position, vessel.mainBody.getRFrmVel(position), vessel.mainBody, Planetarium.GetUniversalTime());
var vesselConfig = ProtoVessel.CreateVesselNode(protocrew.name, VesselType.EVA, orbit, 0, parts, nothing);
var protoVessel = HighLogic.CurrentGame.AddVessel(vesselConfig);

Trying this from the launchpad, the result is always a message in the log "Vessel Jebediah Kerman crashed through terrain on Kerbin". I'm guessing that means something is wrong with the orbit I'm providing, or the position it is based on, but I don't see how that could be since they're constructed based on a vessel not crashing through terrain.

There's a 'GenerateStrandedKerbal' method

Spawning in a random orbit like DarkMultiplayer does seems to go fine. I need a landed kerbal, though.

Getting closer - I now have a landed kerbal. However, it doesn't seem to actually initialize gender, trait, or personality from the provided ProtoCrewMember.

Here's what I'm doing:

uint LetThereBeKerbal(ProtoCrewMember protocrew) {
	var body = vessel.mainBody;
	var flight = ShipConstruction.GetUniqueFlightID(HighLogic.CurrentGame.flightState);
	var crew = new ProtoCrewMember[1];
	crew[0] = protocrew;
	var parts = new ConfigNode[1];
	parts[0] = ProtoVessel.CreatePartNode("kerbalEVA", flight, crew);
	var extra = new ConfigNode[0];
	var orbit = Orbit.CreateRandomOrbitAround(body);
	var vesselConfig = ProtoVessel.CreateVesselNode(protocrew.name, VesselType.EVA, orbit, 0, parts, extra);
	var position = part.transform.position;
	position += (position-body.position).normalized * 5.0;
	vesselConfig.SetValue("sit", Vessel.Situations.LANDED.ToString());
	vesselConfig.SetValue("landed", true.ToString());
	vesselConfig.SetValue("lat", (body.GetLatitude(position)).ToString());
	vesselConfig.SetValue("lon", (body.GetLongitude(position)).ToString());
	vesselConfig.SetValue("alt", (body.GetAltitude(position)).ToString());
	var protoVessel = HighLogic.CurrentGame.AddVessel(vesselConfig);
	return flight;
}
