How to add regular parts actions to EVA?

[M4ck]

Hello everyone.

I'm relatively new to modding KSP. So far I've only created some tweaked regular parts(like a multi-size docking port made of the stock ones or a modified KAS parts that can be plugged to a wall, etc), so what I'm asking for is probably easily done somehow, but I simply haven't found a way to do it yet.

The question here: what should I do if I were to add more actions to EVA right-click menu on a part? Like "repack chute", but for example applied to "activate engine" or "toggle gear"? Is there a way to do this to stock parts, or would it require digging into some plugin/module files? Could someone post a short guide here for me?

Thanks in advance

Haven't tried it myself, but KSPEvent offers a bunch of parameters, including some that appear to be EVA related. Try sth like this (add your other params as well, ofc):

    [KSPEvent(externalToEVAOnly = true, unfocusedRange = 5)]
    private void MyFunctionThatCanBeActivatedViaEVA(){
      // code...
    }

The Vanguard Plugin is what I use. I do not know how it works, and it does precede the .20 update, so it may be redundant. But the source code is available.

Thanks a lot, I'll see what I can do with it
