How do I setup parameters for a module on a part

[michaelhester07]

I want to have parameters in my module on a part. I have no idea how to access them from the C# plugin.

MODULE
{
	name = resourceScienceModule	
	resourceName=ElectricCharge
	resourceAmount=10.0
	experimentID = mysteryGoo
	amount=10;

	experimentActionName = Observe Mystery Goo
	resetActionName = Reset Goo Canister

	useStaging = False
	useActionGroups = false
	hideUIwhenUnavailable = false

	xmitDataScalar = 0.3

	FxModules = 0	

	dataIsCollectable = True
	collectActionName = Collect Data
	interactionRange = 1.2
}

The parameters I want to read are the first 4. How do I read the parameters ?

You need to add KSPFields in your PartModule class.

Let me point you to an excerpt from my code (read: I'm too lazy to type right now): you need to mark the fields you want to load with the KSPField attribute. They must have the same exact name you gave them in the cfg file and they will be loaded automatically when the module is restored from the save file. Also, you can't use double, you must use float instead (double fields are not supported by KSPField for some reason).

Alternatively, you can always load them manually during OnLoad.

Thanks. Now I just need to be able to create science data.

Edit update: I managed to override the Deploy method for the scienceExperiment module so now it will spend a resource to deploy the experiment.

The only problem is I can't find what is run when resetting the experiment so I can't refund the resources spent on it.

Sorry, I have no idea either. Suggestion: promote it to a feature and call it a day
