Identify engine parts - howto

[linuxgurugamer]

  I need to be able to identify all parts which are engines (of any type).  I have identified the following three modules to look for:

1. ModuleEngines
2. ModuleEnginesFx
3. MultiModeEngine (??? where I see this, i also see one of the two above)

Are there any other types that I need to look for?  Also, can someone explain the difference between the first two?

If you are aware of mods which have their own definition of an engine module, please let me know

Thanks

ModuleEnginesFX inherits ModuleEngines now, Multimode is an additional module that just handles switching between other modules(ie not an actual engine itself), and I'm not aware of a mod engine that is entirely from scratch.

For Filter Extensions, I use this shorthand function here (actually a remnant from when FX was an entirely separate module). Even the warp drives, I believe, inherit off ModuleEngines

Only one I can think of off-hand is Advanced Jet Engines. It defines "ModuleEnginesAJEPropeller" for some of its propeller engines. It inherits from ModuleEnginesSolver which in turn inherits from ModuleEnginesFX.

And since the parent is still ModuleEngines you don't have to handle them unless you want to get into the specifics of those module.

What I need is actually a count of the number of engines, I don't really care about what it is.

Thanks to all who replied, you just made my job a little easier.

part.Modules.OfType<ModuleEngines>().Count

or is it length, I always forget which one is for arrays and which one is for the rest...
