How to add solar panels in unity?

[Xellith]

Im asuming I have to do some unity magic to get solar panels to work properly. I recall reading something a while back but I think it was lost in the "Great Purge".

Can anyone help me out?

Well there's this image of one of the stock folding ones in Unity, but that's about it currently.

Thanks for the speedy response. Greatly appreciated. I think I saw this picture a while back so if there isnt any other information out there on panels then I guess this is the thing I saw a while back.. in which case.. DEVS! Y U NO EXPLAIN UR PARTS lol.

I expect it's because they're busy. A few modders have managed to create solar panels but I don't think any information or tutorials for others to use has been released by them.

I think a lot of modders are in competition with others or just cant be bothered helping dispense information.. I just wanna make crappy looking contraptions lol

Modders can't be bothered helping dispense information? lol...

How about modders just figured it out by watching youtube videos and searching the forums. The picture hooji posted could have been found if you used the search feature effectively. Plenty of modders offer support here.

I used the search function. I had about 30 bookmarks go the way of the dodo and lost a lot of threads people had compiled (as Im asuming the majority of people who attempt modding suffered the same). That picture he found didnt exactly answer my question either. And I never said that plenty of modders didnt offer a mountain of support. Please dont misconstrew my words. But lets be honest. The majority of people who help with support are the same faces. There are prolly a lot of people who mod for KSP who never make themselves known on the forums.

edit: fun fact. My google search just displayed this thread as the top result.

While it is lacking a significant amount of information, I suggest adding this thread to your bookmarks. I generally update it whenever I see a piece of information that I don't think has been addressed by another link on it.

It's not perfect but it's better than having nothing.
