Confignode editing

[Warezcrawler]

I'm trying to manipulate with AirIntakes, and I need to change the values in the module "ModuleResourceIntake". I have created a new module for IntakeSwitch which have my new values I wish to inject into the "ModuleResourceIntake".

I think confignode is the way to go, but I just can't figure out, how the manipulate with specific value/nodes in a specific module.

I've tried to outline the structure of a part and my new module. In GTI_IntakeSwitch under resourceNames I have the list of alternative resource I at runtime want to be able to inject into the module ModuleResourceIntake.

Node structure

PART
{
	name = XXX
	MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleResourceIntake
		resourceName = IntakeAir
		checkForOxygen = true
		###other values###
	}
	MODULE
	{
		name = GTI_IntakeSwitch
		resourceNames = IntakeAir, IntakeAtm
		###other target values###
	}
	RESOURCE
	{
		name = IntakeAir
		amount = 2
		maxAmount = 2
	}
}

I would really like to understand:

• How do I control which node i work in.
• Replace a node
• How to change a value in a node
• How to read a specific value
• How the get the changes to take effect

So basically how the confignode construct works.

I have searched around a lot, but it is just not coming to together for me. I have a node replacement working, but that kind of copy paste, and I don't undertand to inner working of it, otherwise I would guess I had figured this out by now.

I don't think you can actually modify a value directly in a ConfigNode (atleast, I've never tried to). I'm always either creating a node from scratch or adding/removing values from one

Some examples of reading ConfigNodes:
https://github.com/ferram4/Ferram-Aerospace-Research/blob/master/FerramAerospaceResearch/FARSettingsScenarioModule.cs#L178-L224
https://github.com/Crzyrndm/Pilot-Assistant/blob/master/PilotAssistant/PresetManager.cs#L184-L193
https://github.com/Crzyrndm/FilterExtension/blob/master/FilterExtension/ConfigNodes/customSubCategory.cs#L24-L39 (all constructors here take a ConfigNode, and they all have a ToConfigNode method as well for writing)

Some examples of writing ConfigNodes:
https://github.com/ferram4/Ferram-Aerospace-Research/blob/master/FerramAerospaceResearch/FARSettingsScenarioModule.cs#L151-L168
https://github.com/Crzyrndm/Pilot-Assistant/blob/master/PilotAssistant/PresetManager.cs#L207-L217
https://github.com/Crzyrndm/FilterExtension/blob/master/FilterExtension/ConfigNodes/customSubCategory.cs#L65-L77

Resource switching example:
https://github.com/Crzyrndm/B9-PWings-Fork/blob/master/B9%20PWings%20Fork/WingProcedural.cs#L3066-L3080 (function above that deals with propagating to sym counterparts, and the one above that modifies existing resources)

Thanks... I will study this, and see if I can deduce what I need to know from the 

Happy coding!!!
