How to determine if you are on an EVA?

[jeti140973]

Newbie mod-wannabe here, go easy on me.

I have visual studio and some c# experience. I have already referenced the assembly-csharp.dll and unityengine.dlls successfully, and can access the types.

I'm trying to create a plugin without a part - at least not yet. Most tutorials seem to expect that a part is the main focus of a mod. Therefore I'm a bit uncertain how to proceed, as my class obviously(?) shouldn't inherit from PartModule. I need to determine if the player is currently in "EVA mode", but how do I do that? In fact, it would be great if I could determine whether the player was: 1) flying in internal view, 2) flying in external view, 3) on eva. But EVA is the important part, but basically I want my mod to react to the flight mode.

I guess I could check if the activevessel is a kerbal astronaut, but the specifics are not clear to me. Help appreciated.

if your class inherits from monobehaviour, you can override the monobehaviour functions and will thusly have Update/FixedUpdate etc.

Take a look at the posts about KSPAddon on how to instantiate your monobehaviour classes.

If you want to check whether the player is in EVA, you can do this by looking at the active Vessel as accessible through FlightGlobals:

FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel.isEVA

Tak - det prøver jeg ;-)

(thanks - I'll try that, for the danishly impaired)

Ok, I am making some progress, but I can't get the next bit to work. I need to figure out if the player is currently in internal view, ie. is sitting inside the cockpit as opposed to the viewing the craft from the outside. It seems that switching back and forth between external/internal view does neither switch the camera nor the vessel. Does anyone know how to check for this?

Try this:

if (CameraManager.Instance.currentCameraMode == CameraManager.CameraMode.IVA)
