Create Difficulty Options?

[Ryimax]

I have looked across the internet for a tutorial on how to create a difficulty setting in a mod, but i can't find one.

It's fairly easy since all of the major components are baked in.  Take a look at this and search for  GameParameters.CustomParameterNode:

You access these values by using  'HighLogic.CurrentGame.Parameters.CustomParams<MyGameSettings>().myGameValue' (the example on the page above uses TestCustomParams for the game setting name and has several values including  MyBool).  So your module would look something like this:

public class ExplodeParams : GameParameters.CustomParameterNode
{
... bunch of stuff to name and define the difficulty parameter node

      [GameParameters.CustomParameterUI("Allow Explosions?", toolTip = "Enable explosions!")]
      public bool explosionsEnabled = true;

... more stuff for difficulty presets
}



public class ModuleExplode : PartModule
{
... bunch of stuff about when to trigger explosions

	public void ExplodeIt()
	{
		if(HighLogic.CurrentGame.Parameters.CustomParams<ExplodeParams>().explosionsEnabled)
			this.part.explode();
	}
}
