How do you make Kerbals run faster in a plugin?

[Ruffles Kerman]

Hello,

I am writing a plugin for KSP, and I am trying to figure out how to make the kerbals run faster. This is the current code I have so far:

ConfigNode newKerbal = ConfigNode.CreateConfigFromObject(parts);
newKerbal.GetNode("PART").GetNode("MODULE").SetValue("walkSpeed", 3.0, false);
ConfigNode.LoadObjectFromConfig(parts, newKerbal);

 

Basically, I tried to edit the config file for a kerbal and load in the kerbal using the new config file, but this didn't work. Does anybody have ideas on how to fix this problem? There might be a way to do this without editing config files, I just haven't found one yet.

I don't know if this information is useful or not, but I am using Microsoft Visual Studio to write this plugin, and I am using a bunch of dll files from KerbalSpaceProgram/KSP_x64_data/Managed as references.

You don’t need a plugin to do this, it should be possible with a ModuleManager patch (which is a .cfg file). That would look something like this:

@PART[KerbalEVA*]:AFTER[Squad]

{

@MODULE[*whatever the MODULE is called, I can’t check right now but it’ll be in every KerbalEVA part file]

{

@walkSpeed = 3

}

}

Though with a walk speed of 3m/s they’ll look more like they’re skating across the surface than walking.

Awesome, thanks! Do you know how to write/edit this module manager patch through a plugin? I want to be able to adjust their walk speed in game.

No. As far as I know, you can’t edit stuff like that while the game is running.

There might be a way using KIS.
