part.cfg Variables

[Thoughtless]

Is there/will there be a way to use custom variables in the part.cfg files?

[Kryten]

Yes, that\'s what the plugin system is all about.

Ok. kinda figured that. Any insight into how the game reads the cfg? i.e. How do I get a custom variable from the cfg without parsing it myself?

[Zool]

just put it in

myVar = 0

in the .cfg file

will over ride

public float myVar = 15f;

in the .cs file

Thank You, Did not expect it to be so easy.

it\'s a real treat, indeed - harvester said the .cfg parser is based on the reflection system which is built in to MONO, and thus Unity, thus KSP :

so whatever properties you expose as 'public' in the class, shall be automatically exposed for cfg-based manipulation - cool, huh? :thumbup:
