Find all KSPFields and KSPEvents in a partmodule

[lo-fi]

Hi

I'm a little rusty after a few months away from any code, so I'm looking at Visual Studio and the KSP API like a 2 year old with a Rubiks cube. Trying to find a way to get a list of the items mentioned in the title to be able to disable their visibility in gui and flight. The disabling I'm fine with doing, but somewhere in the back of my mind there's a thing about BaseFields that I can't quite remember. Any pointers please?

Many thanks

Fields and Events are collections, you can just iterate through them, yeah.

Thanks. Man, I'm rusty with this stuff...

FFR:

                foreach (BaseField k in this.Fields) // foreach (KSPField k in this.Fields) will compile, but will give invalid cast error at runtime.
                {
                    k.guiActive = false;
                    k.guiActiveEditor = false;
                }
                foreach (BaseAction a in this.Actions)
                {
                    a.active = false;
                }
                foreach (BaseEvent e in this.Events)
                {
                    e.active = false;
                }

disables tweakables - both button and slider - along with any text displays in the RCM.

One caution on using BaseAction.active = false is that while that hides it from the GUI, it also disables it.

While not a huge difference to the player, it can be a problem from a modding perspective. If you create another way of triggering the action and so you set the BaseAction.active = false to hide it from the GUI as you don't want the same action showing twice. The issue is that now your way of triggering the action will no longer do anything because since the BaseAction is not active, it will not execute when called.

I assume the same is true for Events, but I have not tested them.

For actions in your own mod under your control this is not a big deal, but if you start disabling actions in other peoples mods, that could be opening a very large can of worms.

Thanks D, that plays into my hands for what I'm doing, but great to have noted down for future reference.
