how to load assembly in editor

[linuxgurugamer]

Hi,

I know how to load a craft in the editor using:

EditorLogic.LoadCraftFromFile

but I can't find how to load an assembly so that it can be added on.

Also, how do I tell what parts are currently loaded in the system (for a different problem)?

Hints? Pointers?

Thanks

I'm confused by your use of assembly in this context.

This is the plugin subforum, an assembly is a name for the overarching container that code resides in within a .dll file.

It sounds however like you are using it as meaning a ground of parts assembled in the editor?

As for parts loaded, you need to look at the ProtoParts database, I can remember exactly where it lives though, AvailableParts I think?

I'm referring to Subassemblies as seen in the Editor scene.

So what I'm trying to do is to load a specific assembly and have it in the Editor, similarly to the way you would load a subassembly in the editor

Looking at the object browser, it most likely is one of:

EditorLogic.LoadShipFromFile

EditorLogic.SpawnConstruct

EditorLogic.SpawnTemplate

I can't help with actually using any of those though, not something I've tried.

Unfortunately, the first doesn't work because:

LoadShipFromFile - Loads it as a new ship, deleting the old

I'll have to test the spawn ones, they involve extra steps.

What's really strange is, in Xamarin, I can see both the LoadShipFromFile and SpawnConstruct in the browser, but the SpawnConstruct isn't static, so I need to use it from an object.

I found: PartLoader.getPartInfoByName

which does what I need (ie: verify that a part exists).

SpaceTiger was able to show me how to use the SpawnConstruct.

So this is all solved.
