Switching Vessels on button press.

[udk_lethal_d0se]

Hey all,

I've searched a little and can't find what I'm looking for. I've got a list of vessels from FlightGlobals, how would I switch to it like you would in the tracking station?

This is what I have so far (this is also a partless plugin, running as an addon):

for (int cVessel = 0; cVessel < FlightGlobals.Vessels.Count; cVessel++)
{
    Vessel sVessel = (Vessel)FlightGlobals.Vessels[cVessel];

    if (sVessel.state != Vessel.State.ACTIVE)
    {
        if (GUILayout.Button(string.Format("{0} [{1}]", sVessel.vesselName, sVessel.situation), buttonStyle))
        {
            //sVessel.GoOnRails(); ?                
        }
    }
}

Thanks for reading.

Hello,

I think you search :

FlightDriver.StartAndFocusVessel (savegame, idx);

and to find idx you can use :

HighLogic.CurrentGame.flightState.protoVessels.IndexOf (YourProtoVessel);
or
FlightGlobals.Vessels.IndexOf (YourVessel);

But I think that you can't access FlightGlobals.Vessels from anywhere

Thanks, I have access to FlightGlobals and the IDX for the intended vessel; however I'm unsure about the 'savegame' section of StartAndFocusVessel(savegame, idx). What should I use, is there a default?

I've used this:

string _saveGame = GamePersistence.SaveGame ("persistent", HighLogic.SaveFolder, SaveMode.OVERWRITE);
FlightDriver.StartAndFocusVessel (_saveGame, _idx);

Perhaps "HighLogic.CurrentGame.Updated ()" would also work, I haven't try ...

Thanks Malah.
