Disabling Engines from Part Module

[tomato3017]

Hey All,

I am trying to figure out a way to shutdown the engine my part module is attached too and keep it down. I know I can send it a shutdown event and that works but the user can restart it.

Anyone know of a way to keep it from being able to restart till I reenable it. I tested with removing the module but is that the proper way as re-adding it requires a new part module object and i'm not sure how to copy the setting from the old module.

Thanks!

You may be able to use enabled = false, otherwise you'll need to disable the actions and events for restarting it (they're the Actions and Events variables on the module, not on the part it's attached to).

Disable the thrustTransform object.

Disable the thrustTransform object.

Don't engines still consume resources even if they can't find the object they're supposed to apply thrust to?

Could be, I would recommend working within KSP's logic and not trying to mess with Unity directly.
