How to use Parts from EVA like Doors?

[onkelsiebdruck]

I searched a lot, but did not find what i am looking for. I have a Part with a animated door, but i have to switch to the connected vessel to control the open/close function of the door. Is it possible to control the door from EVA with a trigger or something?

It should be possible considering we can toggle solar anel from EVA.

I think B9 have the cargo bay that you can open from EVA? it could be a good place to start off.

thank you, that was a good hint!

In the stock-solarpanel cfgs if found nothing. but in B9 that very simple and self-explanatory

availableInEVA = True
EVArange = 10

update:

ok....B9 uses Firespitter.....a solution i keep in mind, but i would prefer a workaround without it.

Accessing things via EVA is a big part of KAS. I'd check there to see how it's managed.

This thread is just about animation access. Ok KAS ist nice, but even if it does the same like Firespitter....i´m still stuck in a plugin-solution.
