Make Part Accessible from EVA only

[COL.R.Neville]

inquiring minds want to know. 

is there a module attribute or flag to set so you can only control a part from eva? like turn it on/off etc....

Hi, there have been in a couple of mod animation modules, firsespitter and the old VNG, an available in EVA true false and and EVA usage range, great thing i thought,used it a lot, but I'm not aware of any such reference in the current animation generic or  animation group modules, but then again there are likely dozens of useful triggers and switches for cfg;s and modules that have never been mentioned and are only discovered by chance. A big fat list of all of them would be a very useful thing

If it's a KSPEvent you can. You need to set OnEVA= true, and InFlight = false.

On my mobile so those names are wrong, but it should let you find them in the IDE.

I would assume the same tags work on KSPField, but don't know 100%.

yeah making an emergency fuel cell but dont want to be able to use the right click from the ship but have to go out and turn it on.  i should have said its for the resourceconverter module.  

i havent tried the interaction range setting that may work. was thinking about the bitmask for situation but thats out cuz it only checks if you are flying or not. 

like you said a list of stuff like this the modulecolorchange list of shaders etc..

externalToEVAOnly = true is the .cfg file parameter you may try. It won't work with everything but it will work with some modules.
