C# public bool ConsumeEC(double elapsed)

[zer0Kerbal]

simple method/function/sub for a mod (and hopefully other mods I'm working with)

call ConsumeEC(TimeWarp.fixedDeltaTime)

called from OnUpdate and OnFixedUpdate

to check to see if enough EC to consume; if not return false;

if there is enough EC to consume, consume it; return true.

It doesn't seem to be working - ie everything is running fine - except it isn't consuming EC.

 

 

  public override void OnFixedUpdate()
        {
            Log.dbg("OnFixedUpdate");
            if (BiomaticIsEnabled && HighLogic.CurrentGame.Parameters.CustomParams<Options>().UseEC)
            {
                if (ConsumeEC(TimeWarp.fixedDeltaTime) == false)
                {
                    ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage(Localizer.Format("#Biomatic_PM_EC01")); // "Electric Charge Depleted. Stopping Biomatic Scanning."
                }
            }

            base.OnFixedUpdate();
        }

        public override void OnUpdate()
        {
            Log.dbg("OnUpdate");
            if (!BiomaticIsEnabled) return;
            if (BiomaticIsEnabled && HighLogic.CurrentGame.Parameters.CustomParams<Options>().UseEC)
            {
                if (ConsumeEC(TimeWarp.fixedDeltaTime) == false)
                {
                    ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage(Localizer.Format("#Biomatic_PM_EC01")); // "Electric Charge Depleted. Stopping Biomatic Scanning."
                }
            }

            //base.OnFixedUpdate();

            base.OnUpdate();
        }
       
        public bool ConsumeEC(double elapsed)
        {
            Log.dbg("ConsumeEC : elapsed: {0}", elapsed);
            double ec = 0, amount = 0;
            if (CheatOptions.InfiniteElectricity == true) { Log.dbg(String.Format("CheatOptions.InfiniteElectricity({0})", CheatOptions.InfiniteElectricity)); return true; }
            else foreach (Part part in ActiveVessel.parts)
                    foreach (PartResource res in part.Resources)
                        if (res.resourceName == "ElectricCharge" && res.amount > 0)
                        {
                            Log.dbg(String.Format("part {0}.{1}:{2}]", part.name, res.resourceName, res.amount));
                            ec += res.amount;  // tally total EC available on ship
                            Log.dbg(String.Format("total EC available {0} ]", ec));
                        }

            amount = ECresourceConsumptionRate * TimeWarp.fixedDeltaTime;
            Log.dbg("EC available: {0} / Consumption Rate: {1} / fixedDeltaTime {2}", ec, ECresourceConsumptionRate, TimeWarp.fixedDeltaTime);
            // if not enough EC to power, then SHut.It.Down
            if (ec < amount) return false;

            //? compute consumption
            //? don't forget to consume the EC needed to power this beast
            part.RequestResource(ElectricChargeID, amount);
            return true;
        }

Well color me amazed. it was working, just well, I had the amount set so low....
