Issues "Creating a GUI Window and Button"

[Zorkinian]

So, I shamelessly borrowed some code from the temporary wiki to create my in-flight GUI (http://kspwiki.nexisonline.net/wiki/Module_code_examples#Creating_a_GUI_Window_and_Button)

I was having occasional render issues, and it took me a while to find the cause - if you have two ships, each of which have a part that generates a GUI, as you approach the second ship (and cause it to load/activate) both GUIs attempt to draw on screen, which causes some issues.

How can that code be modified to allow multiple ships running the same part?

you should check if your part is on the active vessel, if its not don\'t display anything

Indeed... but where should that logic live?

In WindowGUI? DrawGUI? onPartStart? I could put it everywhere, but that seems like overkill.

You might want to hop in the official IRC chat. Many of the plugin authors, including the guy that developed the plugin system itself, hang out there.

Cheers!
