Add Deploy Limit to Service Bay Doors

[Alshain]

Title says it all, I feel this great feature was added and the service bays got forgotten. EDIT: While we are at it, ladders too!

Good idea. Now that the code exists to limit door deployment it should be relatively easy to add.

Meh. I'd rather have their doors redone to slide open/closed instead of this "Imma bash everything in mah way" doors.

Yeah, I said long ago that they should be elevator doors, but that got ignored so at the very least let me control deployment.

I was reading this in the morning,and i thought you will resolve that by now.
Anyhow,they just forgot to add one line.
[code]@PART[ServiceBay_*]
{
@MODULE[ModuleAnimateGeneric]
{
allowDeployLimit = true
}
} [/code]

Yeah, we know how to do it in mods. That doesn't resolve it. We shouldn't have to do mods for something that should so obviously be stock. Besides, I've tried modifying it like that and it breaks the open animation. Edited November 24, 2015 by Alshain

I really apologize,for trying to help.I'll try to remember to not.But i'm curious,in what way is "open animation" broken?It deploys too fast?

Yes. Too fast. Sorry if I was rude, we see a lot of "You can do that with mods" here in the suggestion forums and the problem with that is there isn't much you can't do with mods, I do appreciate you trying to help. Again, sorry bout that.

Alright, after some trial, error, and exploring the Visual Studio object browser, I think this is the solution. Still should be stock FWIW. Consequently, I think I also noticed a small bug in the feature where it doesn't always stop where it should in the VAB/SPH. Might be related to the new speed increase, it works fine after launching the craft.

As mentioned before it would also be nice to have this on ladders but they use a more specific animation module so I don't think there is a way to do it with MM

[code]
@PART[ServiceBay_*]
{
@MODULE[ModuleAnimateGeneric]
{
allowDeployLimit = true
revClampDirection = true
}
}

This is an old part but question, where exactly would this code need to be added? The . Cfg file?
