[SOLVED] How to toggle "stagingEnabled" with plugin code? Answer: you don't need to

[Kurld]

Hi, all, 

Still working on my LES plugin here.  I'd like to give users the option to jettison the LES either with a command from an action group, or by staging the decoupler and jettison engine.

        // is LES jettison action stage-able?
        [KSPField(isPersistant = true, guiActive = false, guiActiveEditor = true, guiName = "Jettison is staged?" ), 
         UI_Toggle(disabledText = "No", enabledText = "Yes")]
        bool isJettisonStageable = false;

and then I have code called in OnStart that goes and finds the relevant ModuleDecouple on the part and calls the following, passing isJettisonStageable to the method:

        internal void SetDecoupleStaged(bool isStaged)
        {
            if (_escapeDecoupler != null)
            {
                _escapeDecoupler.SetStaging(isStaged);
                Debug.Log(string.Format("{0} set Decoupler.IsStageable to {1}", _myModTag, _escapeDecoupler.IsStageable()));
            }
        }

 

However, when I switch it to "Yes" or load a craft that has the part with it set to "Yes"  the decoupler does not appear in the staging menu.

What do I need to do?

OK, somehow I just missed that you can do what I want with some simple config file changes.  Inside the ModuleEnginesFx in question just set:

		stagingEnableText = Jettison Engine: Enable Staging
		stagingDisableText = Jettison Engine: Disable Staging
		stagingToggleEnabledEditor = True

There was already, of course already a toggle provided by the game for the ModuleDecoupler.

What this all tells me is that I need to actually play this game every once in a while instead of getting fixated on this mod!
