Need help with coding

[bogieman987]

Hi, I would like to know how I could achieve what I'm about to describe.

Ok, so what I want to be able to do is, have a part, an engine, play an animation and change which fuel it requires after the atmosphere density gets low enough, and then revert back, when the atmosphere density gets high enough again.

I have everything ready to start coding.

I have a some knowledge, although at the moment I am studying Java in my spare time.

Thanks,

Ryan

The engine module can be found in part.Modules, the propellants in engineModule.propellants.

Sorry for late response, been moving, and the ISP were a bit slow to turn on the internet.

Anyways, thanks for the help

The question as I understand it, because I have been searching for the same thing, is how to set up what amounts to a boolean statement, or even "manually" change the fuel source. I have tried a number of ways to include three fuel sources while only requiring two (one of which always being the liquid fuel) at a time.

ModuleEngines is unlikely to support that behaviour. You either need to write a replacement engine module or some sort of pre-processor that checks the available fuel (part.getConnectedResources?) and then modifies ModuleEngines propellants list based on the circumstances.

Are you referring to a line in the config or underlying module. Can you point me to a good example or tutorial? (i.e. teach me to fish and I will never go hungry again).

Thanks again and in advance for your time and patience.
