IAttachNodesUtilsParseNodeFromString Method

AttachNode ParseNodeFromString(
	Part ownerPart,
	string def,
	string nodeId
)

Parameters

ownerPart

Type: (Default Namespace)Part
The part to parse the node for. The new node will not be added to this part, but the required settings from this part will be used to produce the node (e.g. the rescale factor).

def

Type: SystemString
The string to parse.

nodeId

Type: SystemString
The ID of the new node. Keep it unique in scope of the part.

Return Value

The string format is exactly the same as for the part's attach node definition. It consists of 10 parts, separated by a comma. Only the first 6 parts are mandatory, the others are optional. The format is the following: Position(X,Y,Z), Orientation(X,Y,Z), Size, AttachMethod, CrossFeedAllowed, IsRigid

• Position is defined by the first 3 float numbers.
• Orientation is defined by the next 3 float numbers.
• Size is an integer number starting from 0 (tiny). If the size is omitted, it's assumed to be 1 (small). When coupling two nodes, the minumim size of the two is selected to create the actual joint.
• AttachMethod is a node attach type, which must be 0.
• CrossFeedAllowed is 1 when the resources can flow thru this node, and 0 when the flow must be forbidden. Note, that in order to enable the cross feed mode, the oppossing node must be allowing it as well. If ommited, then the value is 1.
• IsRigid is 0 for the normal part joint, which allows some degree of freedom under a strong force. Value 1 will instruct to create a completely locked joint. If omitted, then the value is 0. Note, the the rigid joint will be created if any of the two coupling nodes require it.
