Best way to disable a part with modulemanager?

[tjsnh]

So, I'm currently using modulemanager to change the required tech for some of the stock parts to make a more sensible progression with the 3 modded parts (yes, a grand total of 3 parts lol) I have added in.

I currently use the following syntax:

@PART[stackSeparatorMini]
{
  @TechRequired = precisionEngineering
}

I now have some plans that involve disabling a couple of the stock parts completely.

My original plan was to just set the TechRequired for the parts I want to disable to require the "Advanced Motors", which I never bother with, and move those wheels into a different tech.

Then I realized there might be a better way.

Anyone have advice on a more "clean" way to disable a stock part entirely using modulemanager?

This will delete the part :

-PART[MyPart]  {}

Another good way is use [thread=100067]CKAN[/thread] with the [thread=106363]PartManager plugin.[/thread]

Hmm my parts refuse to die:

+PART[HexCanOxygenSmall]:NEEDS[TacLifeSupport]
{
    @name = MacLuky.TAC.HexCan.Small
    @title = Small Switchable Hex Can for Tac
    @manufacturer = MacLuky Space Solutions

	MODULE
	{
		name = FStextureSwitch2
		nextButtonText = Next resource
		prevButtonText = Previous resource
		statusText = Current resource
		switchableInFlight = true
		repaintableEVA = false
		textureRootFolder = MacLuky/SmallTAC/
		textureNames = hexempty;hexfood;hexwater;hexlifesupport;hexoxygen;hexwaste
		objectNames = Canister
		textureDisplayNames = Empty;Food;Water;LifeSupport;Oxygen;Waste
		useFuelSwitchModule = true
		fuelTankSetups = 0;1;2;3;4;5
	}

	MODULE
	{
		name = FSfuelSwitch
		resourceNames = Structural;Food;Water;Water,Food,Oxygen;Oxygen;Waste,WasteWater,CarbonDioxide
		resourceAmounts = 0;16.2;16.2;7.6,5,776.4;3593.4;1.3,12.2,1272.9

	}
}

!PART[HexCanLifeSupportSmall]:AFTER[TacLifeSupport] {}
!PART[HexCanOxygenSmall]:AFTER[TacLifeSupport] {}

+PART[MacLuky.TAC.HexCan.Small]:NEEDS[TacLifeSupport]
{
    @name = MacLuky.TAC.HexCan.Medium
    @title = Medium Switchable Hex Can for Tac
    @cost *= 4
    @mass *= 5
    
    @MODULE[FSfuelSwitch]
    {
    	resourceAmounts = 0;130;130;61.3,40.5,6211.2;28747.5;10.5,98,10183.4
    	initialResourceAmounts = 0;130;130;61.3,40.5,6211.2;28747.5;0,0,0
    }
}

!PART[HexCanFoodNormal]:AFTER[TacLifeSupport] {}
!PART[HexCanDrinkingWaterNormal]:AFTER[TacLifeSupport] {}
!PART[HexCanLifeSupportNormal]:AFTER[TacLifeSupport] {}
!PART[HexCanOxygenNormal]:AFTER[TacLifeSupport] {}
!PART[HexCanLifeSupportWasteNormal]:AFTER[TacLifeSupport] {}

+PART[MacLuky.TAC.HexCan.Medium]:NEEDS[TacLifeSupport]
{
    @name = MacLuky.TAC.HexCan.Large
    @title = Large Switchable Hex Can for Tac
    @cost *= 4
    @mass *= 5
    
    @MODULE[FSfuelSwitch]
    {
    	resourceAmounts = 0;1040;1040;490.8,324.4,49689.9;229980.1;84.7,784.2,81467.2
    	initialResourceAmounts = 0;1040;1040;490.8,324.4,49689.9;229980.1;0,0,0
    }
}
    	
!PART[HexCanFoodLarge]:AFTER[TacLifeSupport] {}
!PART[HexCanDrinkingWaterLarge]:AFTER[TacLifeSupport] {}
!PART[HexCanLifeSupportLarge]:AFTER[TacLifeSupport] {}
!PART[HexCanOxygenLarge]:AFTER[TacLifeSupport] {}
!PART[HexCanLifeSupportWasteLarge]:AFTER[TacLifeSupport] {}

Now why would that be?

-PART[MyPart]:FINAL  {}

Thanks, I'll try that. I had a feeling that something was re-enabling the parts. I'm testing in sandbox mode, I presume that shouldn't effect the outcome?

Update: is still around.

-PART[HexCanLifeSupportWasteLarge]:FINAL {}

I even tried nuking the part, it is if as if they re-emerge ;-(

@PART[HexCan*]:FINAL 
{
    @module = PartDisabled
}

This prevents the part from being loaded, or is just a soft disable?

The part is gone from the config so it will not be present. it does not prevent the loading of the model and texture however. It s just that the part will not show up in the part list
