Determining the experience of the Kerbal on EVA

[Angelo Kerman]

Hi all, I am working on a feature that needs to know the skill type (Pilot, Scientist, Engineer) and experience level of the kerbal on EVA. I'm Not sure how to go about this, but I think I'd need to first determine if the active vessel is a kerbal, then get the skill type from somewhere.. Does that make sense? Will a kerbal on EVA be the active vessel?

thanks for the help.

if (FlightGloals.ActiveVessel.isEVA)
{
    Vessel vessel = FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel;
    var experience = vessel.GetVesselCrew()[0].experienceTrait;

    //TODO: add more stuff that does things
}

Beyond that, it's pretty self explanatory. Just don't use vessel.GetVesselCrew() in every update loop, as it is a very expensive operation. Cache the return value, and update it every time FlightGlobal.ActiveVessel changes.
