Bug+Workourand(Engine Plates, Engines, Locked Autostruts)

[Serenity]

Engines, Engine Plates, Locked Autostruts etc.

When you merge two vessels in the editor this might happen after seperation during flight:

The solution/workourand is to always open first in the editor the upper/highest stage/part of your vessel then merge the later stages/other vessels under it.(The grandparent autostruts go up and not down).

This patch will disable autostruts on the engine plates.

 

@PART[EnginePlate*]:NEEDS[SquadExpansion/MakingHistory]
{
    @MODULE[ModuleDynamicNodes]
    {
        @autostrut = false
    }
}

Will it also disable them on engines?Because i think thats the main issue here.

Yeah that's what it's doing.  They were nice enough to put a switch in the node switching module to disable the locked autostruts on the things you attach to the nodes.

I had a huge problem on launch where the engines would get displaced when the launch clamps were released.

I tried it but the engines(not the plate) still have locked autostrut and the bug remains.I am gonna take a break, i spent almost an hour messing around with this bug .Tnx for the help, i might be doing something wrong with the module manager patch who knows  .

It won't apply to ships you already have saved/in flight.  You'll need to remove the plate and put in a new one.

Ops, well it worked but.... https://imgur.com/X53COUb

I think i got an idea why they have them locked .It keeps away the kraken .

@Boyster I just did some testing with it, and I would not recommend using the patch without some version of KJR installed.
