Get all Active Engines?

[rwhwilliam]

sorry if this has been asked 1000 times, but I can't find it via search

How can I best go through and get a list of all the engines that are currently 'firing' ?

Thanks!

foreach (part p in vessel.parts)
{
if(p is LiquidEngine && p.State == ACTIVE)
//Add to list
}

This might be wrong, just wrote it down in here.

Hi!

I do it like this:

int NumberOfActiveEngines=0;

for (int i = 0; i <= PART.vessel.parts.Count() - 1; i++)
    {
    if ((part.vessel.parts.ElementAt(i).GetType().Name == "LiquidFuelEngine")&&(PART.vessel.parts.ElementAt(i).State==PartStates.ACTIVE))
        {
        uint active=0;
        foreach (FXGroup fx in part.vessel.parts.ElementAt(i).fxGroups)//in 0.15, l.engines no longer deactivate when they run out of fuel. This checkes if they emit particles. If so, they are active running engines.
            {
            foreach (UnityEngine.GameObject gfx in fx.fxEmitters)
                {
                if(gfx.renderer.particleEmitter.emit) active++;
                }
            }

        if (active>0)//just in case an engine has more than one emitters...
            {
            NumberOfActiveEngines++;
            }
        }
    }

Yes, it's quite a mess, but at least it works

a similar question, how do I properly set thrust of engines to what I want? I figure this is partially a math phail on me, and partially me not knowing how all the engine variables work... below mainThrust is the 1 - 100 value I have the ability to set via a UI slider:

foreach (LiquidFuelEngine engine in engines)

{

Vector3d v = engine.thrustVector.normalized;

float val = engine.maxThrust*(mainThrust/100);

v.Scale(new Vector3d(val, val, val));

engine.thrustVector = v;

}
