Optional free parameter stats in parts

Lafiel

I would like to suggest parts having a at least one or a few optional parameters that are free to be set and used by modders.
For example I'm reusing the same inherited code but would like to have different varying numbers for some of the settings used. Ordinarily I would have to copy all the code even if there's only one value that's different. Inheritance has not been helpful either as can be seen with shields.

example code use:

for buffprovider
BuffAmount = { BaseValue=&~/Part/MyParameter; BuffType=MyBuff; BuffMode=Add; }
triggeredeffect / self-destruction
Damage = { BaseValue=&~/Part/MyParameter; BuffType=MyBuff; BuffMode=Multiply; }

Lafiel Oh, I have an idea.... Thank you a lot

You are free to add your own values that are only referenced by other values and not directly used by the game. I do this all the time. For example:

	ThrusterForce = 800
	ThrustIncreaseTime = { BaseValue=3; BuffType=Engine; BuffMode=Divide; }
	ThrustRecoveryTime = 6
	FuelUsage = 200

None of these are read directly by Cosmoteer, I just have them at the top of the file for convenience.

That's great. I thought those were fixed hardcoded.
