possible to control unmanned/'unprobed' vehicle?

[kurja]

So, I ever so slightly misplaced one of the ladders on a rocket I built, so now Bill is standing on Eve surface, next to a fully fueled and prepared ascent vehicle.. that he can't get into.

It takes hours of gameplay to get such a thing on Eve, so, at this point I'm willing to cheat. I'd like to at least try and see if my lander can get back into orbit: is there any way to magically transfer the kerbal back into the lander can, or is there a mod, cheat or something that would enable me to control the ship without a kerbal in it?

If you attached any probe bodies the ship should still be controllable. You should also check if its still possible to 'revert' by this point.

sorry but that's not helpful.

I suppose you could try hyperedit. It can teleport ships but I don't know if it can manage EVA's. Though I'd be inclined to test then send a better, unmanned vehicle to rescue.

I should admit I don't really care about the kerbal at this point, I'd just like to test the vehicle's ascension capability now that it's there.

Open the debug menu (alt-F12), enable hack gravity, use your kerbal's EVA pack to fly up onto the pod, embark. Untoggle hack gravity and you're good to go.

Edit: If your kerbal's EVA pack is empty, you can toggle infinite EVA fuel as well.

Faster and easier than mucking about editing files.

Yeah, I think Johnno's solution is the best. Otherwise, there's a mod called Hyperedit that lets you teleport ships around, if you want to whip up another with a correctly placed ladder and give it another go.

Aaah! So obvious! Thank you!
