ModuleLandingGear, ModuleControlSurface etc. ability to consume resources

[Azimech]

Hello Squad,

I've started creating a mod to include hydraulics in KSP. I've been experimenting with various modules to make them consume a resource, but they don't act accordingly and function even with the resource depleted.

So my request is a small adaptation (or maybe insight in the proper syntax in the configuration file) of the modules so they can consume resources. IMHO it would be a great addition to the game, since most movable parts in aerospace consume hydraulic power, electricity or both. It adds another layer of complexity for those who want it. I really do not wish to force this on everyone, the part.cfg could have a switch like ConsumeResources = true/false

For example: Engine gimbals, lowering/retracting landing gear, suspension ride height, control surfaces, wheel brakes, wheel steering, deployment of antennae and cargo bay doors. Good example is flying the Altea XR5 in Orbiter.

Thank you for your time.
