change active state based on fuel level

[TheAlmightyOS]

I have made a simple generator module part to covert Karbonite to my new resource. However the problem with the generator module is that it as long as it is active it will continue to generate long after the tanks are full, wasting precious resources. I want some way to return the amount of free space left in type x tanks on this.vessel and deactivate the generator when the tanks are full or near full. I checked the API (http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/API:Vessel) but did not find what I was looking for. Any suggestions?

This documentation is more complete. But that's not saying very much. Often there is no documentation and you have to look through the Object Browser for likely-looking class names.

In this case the relevant things are in fact documented and you can probably you can do something like

int resourceID = PartResourceLibrary.GetDefinition("LiquidFuel").id;
double freeSpace = 0;
for(Part p in vessel.parts) {
  for(PartResource r in p.Resources) {
    if(r.info.id == resourceID) freeSpace += r.maxAmount - r.amount;
  }
}

I recommend using my TacGenericConverter as a replacement for the stock generator module. Or use the modified version of my class created by RoverDude for Karbonite, MKS/OKS, etc. You should really talk to him since it sounds like your effort is overlapping with what he is doing. And I will be folding his changes into my class eventually (he hasn't shared them with me yet).
