Add KSPField visible during EVA & detect EVA transition

[Ontresanas]

I'm trying to make it so that kerbals on EVA can interact with a part, but I'm not sure how to do so.  How would I go about doing this?

Also, how does one determine the skillset and skill level of a kerbal?  I can't seem to find a way.

In the interest of not starting even more threads, I'm going to ask these here:

How do I make a KSPField visible during EVA?  guiActive = true doesn't seem to work.

Also, how do I detect transition from EVA to IVA or vice versa, and how do I determine what capsule the transition occurred from/to?

How would I get the Kerbal responsible for, in that example, detonating the part?

That works, thanks!

However, I can't seem to figure out a way to have a KSPField that's visible from EVA as well as not during EVA.

It is set to true once the part has been examined, but it's still only visible when not on EVA:

foreach (BaseField F in this.Fields)
    if (F.guiName == "Examination Result")
        F.guiActive = true;

Which is exactly what I want.  The KSPEvents are already visible from, and work in, EVA.  I want to display a value in the EVA menu, but I don't want it to have a button.

[KSPField(isPersistant = true, guiActive = false, guiName = "Examination Result")]
public string ExamineStatus;

It's correctly visible when not on EVA, but on EVA it's not visible in the right-click context menu.

How about detecting EVA transitions?  How would I go about detecting transitions from EVA to IVA or vice versa, and how would I determine what capsule the transition occurred from/to?

Was just poking around the GameEvents today and came across these two events that look promising. I haven't played with them - you'd need to investigate.

GameEvents.onCrewBoardVessel
GameEvents.onCrewOnEva

Those work, thanks!
