How to add a new part

[belpyro]

Hello!

Anybody help my with understanding "how can I add a new part from code-behind"?

I create a new part form PartLoader. After, I set parent for a new part. And I create PartJoint. But I did't see a new part ((

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks!

Can you post the exact error?

maybe the code that makes the error?

from what you wrote, it's quite hard to guess where the problem is..

For example:

[FONT=arial]var my_part =PartLoader.getPartInfoByName("blablabla").partPrefab;[/FONT][FONT=arial]           
var parent_part = FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel.rootPart;
my_part.setParent(parent_part);
my_part.attachJoint = PartJoint.Create(my_part, parent_part, my_part.srfAttachNode, null, AttachModes.SRF_ATTACH);
[/FONT][FONT=arial]FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel.Parts.Add(my_part)[COLOR=#DCDCDC];[/COLOR][/FONT]

As I understood, I get incorrect coordinates for attachJoint.

I have no experiance with adding parts to existing vessels..

My project has to do with spawning one-part-vessels..

there I use ship construct..

ShipConstruct newShip = new ShipConstruct();

newShip.Add(newPart);

not sure if that is relevant for you though.. - if you need the joints, I failed with them myself last time, so I can't help..

however - you should take a look at KAS git repo..

They do that new-part-on-the-fly thing quite stable..

Look for the "attach" code that's used when you attach a KAS pipe or something..

Yes, I know about shipconstruct, but I don't need to use it. About KAS, KAS don't use native mechanics of KSP for adding a new part. I wonna understand how it works. Thanks a lot for help!

Have you found a solution for this? I'm currently try to spawn a part and attach it to a craft.
