I can't figure out how to use the Module_Deployable with my gameobject. Mainly, what parameters I need to set in the Animator.
I just need to extend the heatshield, and retract the heat shield when the player toggles it.
I've included the .json for the part.
I don't see any reason to make a custom data/module as I'm not modifying the behaviour or adding any additional functionality to this. im simply trying to use the modules the dev's already have in game and struggling to figure out how to implement it

@austere steeple might be the best to help you with this

pretty sure I have to have 3 scripts in my mod to make it work properly otherwise the game cant find my gameobject. testing it out now

You only need to use the isDeployed trigger
Your transitions seems correct tho
Tomorow by 4pm GMT ill be home, then i cal help u a bit more

Hy cvusmo. I use 4 states : deploy, retract, deployed, rétracted (defaut)
Retracted -> retract : boolean isDeployed
Retracted & Deployed : add animstateinformer
I'm at work. I ll send you screenshoot this evening.
Deployed->retract: boolean isDeployed
I don't use scripts With my parts
Deploy : animation
Retract : animation
I use an unity script which automatic frame inverse of an animation
Retracted & deployed : animation with only one frame
Hope it helps you

Retract : animation

you dont need a unity script for that
use the trigger
animationReverseTrigger or smth similar
it automatically does that for you

exact Lux.
boolean isDeployed becomes True when toggle on, and false when toggle off
Trigger **animationReverseTrigger **is activated when toggle is changed during deployement ou rectracting animations

you dont need a unity script for that
you right. i'm just maniacal and prefering 2 differents animations ... don't ask me why 🙂
austere steeple
wait so you use 2 diffrent animations?
whole heron
i can change one if i need/want, but it s not necessary
i m not using speed -1 to play reverse
it's better for sound, i can place sound events like i need on each one
whole heron
you dont need a unity script for that
The script I was talking about is a unity editor script. It reverses the frames of an animation. I copy the retract animation then I rename it deploy. The script then allows me to reverse all the frames of the animation. I don't know if my explanations are clear...
austere steeple
you can just make the other animation have a speed of -1
and it will reverse it for you :D
whole heron
yes, i know . Problem for me is that events for sound (play / stop) and when i put speed -1, the first sound event is stop 🙂 et the last on is play

this makes me happy to see. i just woke up. thank you!

Before reading this I did a lot of learning. I figured out the -1 trick I also went through Data_Deployable and Module_Deployable. I saw the animationReverseTrigger thing. I realized I'm going to need to have a custom module to deploy, decouple, and do heatshield things. Why? Maybe I don't need to, but I want to? If I can access those modules with my module, then i should be able to customize my heatshields.
For example, I want my origami heat shield to start with a fairing and decouple when told to, then be able to extend and retract. Right now im on the getting it to extend and retract phase.
I've attached the scripts I have for the mod. It's definitely overkill and would be much easier to just use Module_Deployable.
But, this is helping me learn a lot. I also enjoy making custom modules and I think it gives me far more control over my parts than just using stock modules.

[Info :KerbalForgePlugin] DeploymentState has been set to: Extended```I m not a King in coding c#
austere steeple
you dont need that, thats all already included on the Module_Deployement
