How to get dimensions of a prefab

[linuxgurugamer]

In the Editor, given the PartLoader.LoadedPartsList, I can find a specific part.

How can I get the x,y,z dimensions of it, everything I've tried so far still returns 0,0,0

I've tried the following:

  Part p = PartLoader.LoadedPartsList[desiredPart];

  var v = p.partPrefab.GetModuleSize(d);
  Log.Info("part: " + p.name + ", height x,y,z: " + v.x.ToString() + ", " + v.y.ToString() + ", " + v.z.ToString());

and

  var v = p.partPrefab.prefabSize;

and

  var v = p.partPrefab.moduleSize;

 

Thanks in advance

@allista shoudl know about this, with Bounds.

GetModuleSize is like GetModuleMass/Cost -- it retrieves modified size from IPartSizeModifier modules, if they're present.

What I do is I actually measure them mesh-by-mesh, encapsulating either meshFilter.bounds or meshFilter.vertices (for wheels, not needed in Editor), all transformed from meshFilter.transform to part.transform:

I've wrote this in KSP-0.24 times, when there was no notion of size in editor.

Now the ShipConstruction calculates ship size almost the same way, using MeshRenderer.bounds (which are in worldspace) and remembering, unlike me, that there are also SkinnedMeshRenderers 

There's a bug in current ShipConstruction.CalculateCraftSize method, though, preventing it from accounting for part.boundsMultiplier and part.GetModuleSize (I wonder, does anyone noticed it yet?).

Here's what KSP does:

All this designed for parts already instantiated in editor (or parts in-flight, in my case).

It should work with prefabs as well, but be carefull with GetModuleSize, as modules in a prefab are not started so may not be completely initialized.

I hope that's enough to get going with

And why would parts be mulitplied? Is that for things like tweakscale?

Scale values from the config files.

@allista thanks.  Thats pretty much what i ended up doing.

Yes, I noticed it when I saw that the MK1-2 pod in Blender is 1/2 scale in the .mu and in the editor you see the half scale model's height, not the full-scale model's height.

Hi guys. Modding the game is one thing, but decompiling and sharing KSP's code is a problem, for various reasons. That has been removed from the thread.
