Kill a crew member + detect number of crew

[kineticPull]

So I'm making a very simple life support mod, and I can't figure out how to detect the number of crew members in the part, or kill one. Please help.

Have a look at Anatid API Doc for Part and search for protoModuleCrew

You'll see a List and add/remove call.

Have a look at CrewManfiest source (see my sig) to find more of what you need (mark a crew dead in the roster)

[kineticPull]

and how would I make it check for and consume a resource (oxygen)

and how would I make it check for and consume a resource (oxygen)

Look at the source of the countless amount of life support mods out there?

That would be the easy way out. I'm trying to learn how to code C# in KSP, and i'm asking for help on the things I'm completely stuck on.

but I figured it out.

using UnityEngine;

namespace BASIK_Life_Support
{
    public class LifeSupport : PartModule
    {

        public PartResource oxygen = null;


        public void Update(ProtoCrewMember member)
        {

            PartResourceList prl = part.Resources;

           foreach (PartResource wanted_resource in prl)
           {
                if (wanted_resource.resourceName == "Oxygen")
                {
                    oxygen = wanted_resource;
                }
           }

           if ( oxygen.amount <= 0)
           {
               part.RemoveCrewmember(member);
               member.seat = null;
               member.rosterStatus = ProtoCrewMember.RosterStatus.Dead;
           }

           else
           {
               oxygen.amount -= (0.2 * part.protoModuleCrew.Count);
           }
        }
    }
}

I hope it works

}

Asking for help is more of the easy way out than figuring it out from someone's code.

But two things about that: first off you are manually removing resources, do /not/ do that. Use part.RequestResource() to remove resources. Second, you are removing 0.2 units every /frame/. Multiply the amount by second with TimeWarp.fixedDeltaTime to have it behave correctly.

My problem now is that I cant kill Kerbals in seats 1 to crewNum. crewNum being equal to vessel.GetCrewCount()

Because it's an index. It starts at zero, as any other indexed variable. It will be from 0 to (vessel.GetCrewCount() - 1)
