How can I tag parts to go in Tech Tree Nodes?

hi!

currently working on a little add-on that includes a custom tech-tree i made myself and want to know how to get it to be compatible with some mods. i've managed to figure out a good deal of modding stuff by looking at the code for other add-ons and experimenting around, and when i tried to look at the files for add-ons like Community Tech Tree, they only have files that dictate what nodes go where but nothing about where compatible parts should actually be placed. how can i make my tech tree compatible with other part mods?

I don't know about tech trees, but it sounds like what you want is to make other mods parts move into your mods' tech nodes? If so you could make an MM patch for each node:

@PART[anotherModsPart1,antherModsPart2]:AFTER[partsMod]
{
    %TechRequired = yourCustomNode
}

this looks exactly like what i'm looking for! but where do i place this/in what kind of file do i put it in? i tried just putting it in a .cfg file next to my actual tech tree itself and the test parts i put in didn't show up.

What about using @ insead of %?

@TechRequired = yourCustomNode

% for edit or create

@ for just edit
