How to get exact biome

[michaelhester07]

I'm nearly there with my science module plugin, i just need this last bit. In order to prevent some level of cheating I need to detect what display biome an experiment was performed in.

I saw the post on the biome names. I need to be able to filter the vessel position based on whether it's flying, landed, or orbiting. How can I detect those states?

Getting biome name.

As for the situation, you can check vessel.landed for landed, and if that returns false, you can check vessel.mainbody.atmosphere, if that returns false, you are orbiting, if it returns true, you can check to see if vessel.getStaticPressure > 1E-6 (this is where atmospheres cut off). If true, you are flying, else, orbiting.

Thanks. I had figured out a way to do what I needed with the RevealSituation method on the vessel for the second part.
