Toggle-able power source?

[Tassyr]

Question- is it even possible to make, say, a small RTG that creates a miniscule amount of power and can be toggled on or off?

I mean I can figure out the 'miniscule power' bit- but not the toggle. What I'm attempting to make is a small probe that activates a power generation system when it decouples from the main craft, but doesn't power the main craft itself.

yes, its very easy to do in the part.cfg files, I have made a few.

Simply change the 'isAlwaysActive = true' to false, or you can delete the line entirely.

if you want to have a specific name to your 'On/Off' Button, you can use the; 'startEventGUIName = Start RTG' and then the; 'endEventGUIName = Stop RTG'

How would I structure the gui-name thing? I've never screwed around with that bit before. I mean where do I put that in this structure?

MODULE

{

name = ModuleGenerator

isAlwaysActive = false

OUTPUT_RESOURCE

{

name = ElectricCharge

rate = 0.75

}

}

}

And yeah, this is just the basic RTG for test purposes.

Just under the 'isAlwaysActive' line.

Curious- what other functions can you assign names?

[KhaosCorp]

I know the 'start/endEventGUIName' is used for animations as well, no clue as to what else its used for as I just started learning to mod.

[Tassyr]

Well, you just gave me a leg up- so thanks!

[Haze-Zero]

I am just enough of a jerk to assume that the thanks was going to both me and KhaosCorp, so your welcome ^.^ Happy Modding

[Tassyr]

Yes, sorry- think of that as an AOE thanks to both of you guys. XD
