Disable the particle emitter in editor

[flywlyx]

Is there a way to disable the particle emitter in editor?

        if (HighLogic.LoadedSceneIsEditor)
        {
            ABTransform.gameObject.SetActive(false);

        }

The code can only disable when you drag it out, it still shows up in the components list, is there a away to hide it?

Add the Icon_Hidden tag to the particle emitter's GameObject inside Unity before exporting it

I set it like this, but it doesn't work.

Maybe I have to deactivate Emit and activate again?

Looks like it's an oversight in KSP. Particle[Emitter/Animator/Renderer] components work with Icon_Hidden but KSPParticleEmitter and probably SkinnedMeshRenderer do not. The Icon_Only tag functions normally.

Well, easily fixed in code:

[KSPAddon(KSPAddon.Startup.Instantly, true)]
public class FixIconHiddenBug : LoadingSystem
{
    private static bool _hasRun = false;
    private const string IconHiddenTag = "Icon_Hidden";

    private void Start()
    {
        if (_hasRun)
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
            return;
        }
            
        FindObjectOfType<LoadingScreen>().loaders.Add(this);
    }

    public override bool IsReady()
    {
        return _hasRun;
    }

    public override void StartLoad()
    {
        _hasRun = true;

        var startTime = Time.realtimeSinceStartup;

        foreach (
            var iconGo in PartLoader.LoadedPartsList.Where(ap => ap.iconPrefab != null).Select(ap => ap.iconPrefab))
        {
            PartLoader.StripTaggedTransforms(iconGo.transform, IconHiddenTag);
        }

        print("Finished fixing tags in " + (Time.realtimeSinceStartup - startTime).ToString("F3") + " sec");
    }

    public override string ProgressTitle()
    {
        return "Fixing icon tags";
    }
}

Edit: Just so nobody is surprised by it, this will delete any tagged GO and its children

Does the normal Unity Particle Emitter works in KSP? I think it doesn't work in some older versions.

Thank you for your code!
