How to get fuel count for active vessel ?

[creekorful]

Hello everyone, i have a little question,

How to get fuel count for the active vessel ? (The fuel in all parts in mean, for the entire vessel),

I want to get it to check if fuel level is low.

Also if there is a way to check is fuel level is low directly, tell me about it

Thank you in advance.

(By getting fuel level i mean wich function or method i had to use with my plugin using VS13 and C#)

In the top right corner there's a button you can press and it will show you how much fuel you have relative to how much your vehicle can carry.

You have to summorise the amount of resource for each part in a vessel filtered on resourcetype

[COLOR=blue]
public double getTotalResourceCapacity(Part my_part, string resource_name)         
{             
    return my_part.GetConnectedResources(resource_name).ToList().Sum(partresource => partresource.maxAmount);     
}

public static class PartExtensions 
{
    public static IEnumerable<PartResource> GetConnectedResources(this Part part, String resourcename)
    {
       PartResourceDefinition definition = PartResourceLibrary.Instance.GetDefinition(resourcename);
       return GetConnectedResources(part, definition);
    }

    public static IEnumerable<PartResource> GetConnectedResources(this Part part, PartResourceDefinition definition)
    {
        List<PartResource> resources = new List<PartResource>();
        part.GetConnectedResources(definition.id, definition.resourceFlowMode, resources);
        return resources;
    }
}

Vessel.getActiveResources()

also works to return a list of resources on the vessel.

If you then want to consume a resource then

part.requestResource()

To get the active vessel

FlightGlobals.activeVessel

Although you'll just want to get the vessel through the module's part

this.part.vessel

So that your mod can still process resources if it's loaded but not being actively driven.
