Help! Update() doesen't work!

[JuhaJGamer]

Can someone help? I'm having problems with my code. I'm trying to make a part module which would trigger some functions when part cant get any fuel. in my codepart its like

public void onUpdate () {

            double anti = this.part.RequestResource ("Antimatter", 20);
            double EM = this.part.RequestResource ("Electric Matter", 1);


            if (anti <= 20 ^ EM >= 1) stabilizeField (antiFieldState);
            else calculateExplosions (antiFieldState);


    }

Public void onUpdate() should be public void Update ()(if using monobehaviour callbacks) or public override void OnUpdate () if using ksp callbacks from PartModule?*

*questionmark because im a total noob at c#

Ok I'll try. Hope it works

I dont think it works. My code:

public override void OnUpdate () {





            double anti = this.part.RequestResource ("Antimatter", 20);
            double EM = this.part.RequestResource ("Electric Matter", 1);


            if (anti <= 20 ^ EM >= 1) stabilizeField (antiFieldState);
            else calculateExplosions (antiFieldState);


    }

It should work and I actually have a debug messaging after that but it shows nothing in the log. Stabilize field shows in the debug that it works and calculate explosions explodes the part.

Adding stuff

[lo-fi]

Remember that OnUpdate() only runs if the part is the part is active (staged). I suspect this may be your issue.

Update() always runs, though you make want to run some checks that the part is in flight (not in the editor) depending what you want to do.

O i must have remembered wrong. I thought OnUpdate () ran regardless of staging but OnFixedUpdate () ran only after staging. Sorry for the confusion. Then as lo-fi said it is better to use Update () which runs regardless of staging since this is unitys own frame callback. That is unless you want to integrate some functionality with ksps staging timeline.

Yaa that works. I'll mention you two in the readme file when I get my mod ready
