Hook into Part.onCopy from PartModule

[marce]

Second problem but not related to my other one so I create a second thread

Question: is it somehow possible to hook into the onCopy method of part from a PartModule?

Background: I have to reset attributes of the module when its part is copied. I'd like to avoid subclassing Part itself and stay with a Module.

I experimented with reset onAttach and other stuff like that but then it did it also when moving the original part etc.

So I'd really like to get an info when the part has been cloned (also considering symmetry) in order to clean up.

I don't know if onCopy is setup for a call back, but I do know part.onAttach and part.onDetach are.

In your partmodule, if you run this:

{code here to insure this line only runs once}
part.onAttach += OnAttachCode();


OnAttachCode()
{
--code here to run when the part that the partModule is assigned to gets attached.
}

OnDestroy()
{
part.onAttach -= OnAttachCode(); //remove the callback when the part destroyed
}

If this works for part.onCopy, it sounds exactly like what you are looking for.

Sadly this doesn't work for onCopy.

I added a workaround consisting of IDs and generating vessel part lists...
