kos script help

[Ev1I_]

I want make my scrip to perform actions depend on ship name. When rocket is on launch pad  I programing lower kos processor with kos tag "Booster" to perform for example step "launch", then when its staging, using command "kuniverse:forcesetactivevessel" I wanna switch to Upper Stage of my rocket with kos processor tag "UpperStage"  and make him run step "Orbit", with construction like this:

"if Ship("Booster") {

runstep ("launch")"

}

"if Ship("UpperStage") {

runstep ("Orbit")"

}

Can someone help please?

Thanks

I don't know how to answer the specific question you asked, but I do know how to use KOS to get a ship into orbit.

First, why are you using multiple kOS processors when just one (on the upper stage) would work fine?

Second, I think KSP treats a vessel as a single vessel when it's joined together, so forcesetactivevessel might not work.

Third, it's easier if you can put all your "steps" in one file, and make use of the WAIT UNTIL control before the next step happens.  As in:

DECLARE FUNCTION launch {
  // some code goes here
}
DECLARE FUNCTION orbit {
  // some code goes here
}

launch.
WAIT UNTIL ALTITUDE > 70000.
orbit.

Or you could make them run sequentially like:

set launching_is_done to FALSE.
DECLARE FUNCTION launch {
  // some code goes here
  return(TRUE).
}
DECLARE FUNCTION orbit {
  // some code goes here
}

WAIT UNTIL launch. // won't proceed until the last line of launch is executed, which returns TRUE
orbit.

My kOS launching code is set up like:

DECLARE some_constants.
DECLARE some_logging_functions.
WHEN ALTITUDE > 70000 then { stage fairings, etc. } // this won't trigger until much later
SET some_steering_parameters.
LOCK steering to some_steering_parameters.
stage. // launches ship
WHEN stage:liquidfuel < 0.1 THEN { 
                           stage. 
                           and do some other things. 
                           PRESERVE. // allows the WHEN to repeat next time youre out of fuel
                           }
WHEN ALTITUDE > 25000 THEN { lock steering to different_steering_parameters. }
WAIT UNTIL APOAPSIS > target_apoapsis.
set throttle to 0.
unlock steering.
run circularize_high // a different file that creates a maneuver node for circularization burn
run burnnode // a different file that executes the next maneuver node
// end of file; the real version is about 450 lines long, not counting circularize_high and burnnode

It's not really the place for specific kOS questions unless they're bug support questions.

 

Head on over  to the kOS thread, or the /r/kos subreddit and we'll be able to help more there.

Yeh I know how to get to orbit with single processor and script. But I want land my booster back to Earth/Kerbin, and here's the catch.
