Change wing lift dependant on animation (solved, thank you)

[electronicfox]

I have an animated wing that deploys itself, but I have come across the unfortunate issue where stock KSP will only register the wings lift values from its initial position, meaning that when the wings are folded and stowed away, they still behave as though they're fully deployed.

I figure that one way around this is to link the lift values to the animation of the object (so in short, something like Lift = Frame * x).

I had to borrow from other plugins to figure out what I need, and I think I am very close to getting this working, but right now its just not doing anything.

This is what I have so far:

using UnityEngine;

namespace Animate2Variable

{

public class AnimatedWing : PartModule

{

[KSPField(guiActive = true, guiActiveEditor = false,

guiName = "deflectionLiftCoeff", isPersistant = false)]

public float deflectionLiftCoeff;

public void FixedUpdate()

{

if (part.Modules.Contains("ModuleControlSurface"))

{

deflectionLiftCoeff = animation["Deploy"].time ;

((ModuleLiftingSurface)part.Modules["ModuleControlSurface"]).deflectionLiftCoeff = deflectionLiftCoeff;

}

}

}

}

Ok I got this far, but now my anim(Anim).normalizedTime throws up 'is a 'field' but is used like a 'method'.

namespace Animate2Variable

{

public class AnimatedWing : PartModule

{

public Animation anim;

[KSPField(isPersistant = false)]

public string Anim = "";

[KSPField(isPersistant = false)]

public float LiftMultiply = 0;

[KSPField(guiActive = true, guiActiveEditor = false,

guiName = "deflectionLiftCoeff", isPersistant = false)]

public float deflectionLiftCoeff;

public void FixedUpdate()

{

anim = part.FindModelAnimators(Anim)[0];

if (part.Modules.Contains("ModuleControlSurface"))

{

deflectionLiftCoeff = anim(Anim).normalizedTime;

((ModuleControlSurface)part.Modules["ModuleControlSurface"]).deflectionLiftCoeff = deflectionLiftCoeff;

}

}

}

}

Because () are not [].

deflectionLiftCoeff = anim[Anim].normalizedTime;

Here is a cleaned up version. Of course you ll have to do more than just setting the current value of the anim time but I guess you already know that.

using UnityEngine;

namespace Animate2Variable
{
    public class AnimatedWing : PartModule
    {
        [KSPField(isPersistant = false)]
        public string animationName = "";


        [KSPField(isPersistant = false)]
        public float LiftMultiply = 0;

        [KSPField(guiActive = true, guiActiveEditor = false,guiName = "deflectionLiftCoeff", isPersistant = false)]
        public float deflectionLiftCoeff;

        private ModuleControlSurface liftingSurface;

        private Animation anim;

        public override void OnStart(PartModule.StartState state)
        {
            anim = part.FindModelAnimators(animationName)[0];

            liftingSurface = part.FindModuleImplementing<ModuleControlSurface>();
        }

        public void FixedUpdate()
        {
            if (anim == null || liftingSurface == null)
                return;

            deflectionLiftCoeff = anim[animationName].normalizedTime;

            liftingSurface.deflectionLiftCoeff = deflectionLiftCoeff;
        }
    }
}

        public float deflectionLiftCoeff;

        private ModuleControlSurface liftingSurface;

        private Animation anim;

        public override void OnStart(PartModule.StartState state)
        {
            anim = part.FindModelAnimators(animationName)[0];

            liftingSurface = part.FindModuleImplementing<ModuleControlSurface>();
        }

        public void FixedUpdate()
        {
            if (anim == null || liftingSurface == null)
                return;

            deflectionLiftCoeff = anim[animationName].normalizedTime;

            liftingSurface.deflectionLiftCoeff = deflectionLiftCoeff;
        }
    }
}

Thank you! I knew it would be something really simple.

I already have another value editable in the cfg that will shrink down the animation time value to a reasonable amount for the final draft of this code.
