GameEvent: onDock and several other events

[nobody44]

Hello,

I am building a mission plugin and I need to check, if the vessel has docked to another ship. Unfortunately GameEvents provides onUndock but no onDock event. Is there another way to check this event?

Also I would like to know how many tons of a specific resource are available on the vessel (only the name of the resource is known, e.g. "Oxidizer"), how do I do that? I don't see any suitable methods in Vessel or PartModule.

And finally I would like to know whether or not more file access methods are planned. I would like to access the directories,where my mission files are, but that is not possible (accessing System.IO is forbidden). I use FileBrowser so far, but that has other issues.

Thank you very much!

There are a few new file access methods in GameDatabase.

(accessing System.IO is forbidden).

And thanks the devs for that, wouldn't be safe to download any plugins otherwise.

Err.... I don't see them?

I didn't blame the devs for this step. But I wish there were other methods (especially accessing the directory itself) to access the PluginData-folder from my plugin.

OnSave and OnLoad can do that to an extent. If you're trying to access an image then just use that image's name and KSP will automatically pull it from PluginData. Sounds are more complicated (due to the new GameData thing) but it's a similar method. I know Snjo figured it out (mostly) so look for that thread in this subforum.

Maybe I didn't describe it properly: I want to access the directory. I want to see which files are there, and of course, I want to open them. For now I use KSP.IO.TextReader and FileBrowser and it works, but it has some side effects.

I figured out how to access the resources, maybe there are simpler methods:

Iterate over all parts on your vessel, each part has the Resources property and you can access the resource by using ["LiquidFuel"] as accessor.
