Getting all Engine Parts

[pulp_user]

Hi Guys,

I'm new to KSP modding and I will post a lot of noob questions in the next time. Is this the right place for that?

However, my main question is: How do I get all engines of a vehicle, so I can manipulate their individual thrust an so on? I know there is a method to get parts by category, but I don't know what arguments to enter. Or can I maybe search their config files for the ModuleEngines Module?

This is indeed the right place.

If you want to get all engines for a vehicle, you'll want to search through all parts in the vessel's parts list, and check each one to see if it has an engine module (ModuleEngines, ModuleEnginesFX, or any other engine module).

Category won't help (the LES is in Utility, for example), and won't catch any parts that had a module added dynamically.

For all engine PartModules:

var engineModules = vessel.Parts.SelectMany(p => p.Modules.OfType<ModuleEngines>());

For all parts which have engine PartModules:

var partsWithEngines = vessel.Parts.Where(p => p.Modules.OfType<ModuleEngines>().Any());

This is off the top of my head, so capitalization may vary.

I know its necro, bot i think this (maybe its new) will work as well:

List<ModuleEngines> myEngineModules = vessel.FindPartModulesImplementing<ModuleEngines>();
