Gimbal

Many engines in KSP have thrust vectoring gimbals which are handled by their own module

structure Gimbal
Suffix Type (units) Description
All suffixes of PartModule    
LOCK Boolean Is the Gimbal locked in neutral position?
LIMIT scalar (%) Percentage of the maximum range the Gimbal is allowed to travel
RANGE scalar (deg) The Gimbal’s Possible Range of movement
RESPONSESPEED scalar The Gimbal’s Possible Rate of travel
PITCHANGLE scalar Current Gimbal Pitch
YAWANGLE scalar Current Gimbal Yaw
ROLLANGLE scalar Current Gimbal Roll

Note

Gimbal is a type of PartModule, and therefore can use all the suffixes of PartModule. Shown below are only the suffixes that are unique to Gimbal. Gimbal can be accessed as Engine:GIMBAL atribute of Engine.

Gimbal:LOCK
Type:Boolean
Access:Get/Set

Is this gimbal locked to neutral position and not responding to steering controls right now? When you set it to true it will snap the engine back to 0s for pitch, yaw and roll

Gimbal:LIMIT
Type:scalar (%)
Access:Get/Set

Percentage of maximum range this gimbal is allowed to travel

Gimbal:RANGE
Type:scalar (deg)
Access:Get only

The maximum extent of travel possible for the gimbal along all 3 axis (Pitch, Yaw, Roll)

Gimbal:RESPONSESPEED
Type:scalar
Access:Get only

A Measure of the rate of travel for the gimbal

Gimbal:PITCHANGLE
Type:scalar
Access:Get only

The gimbals current pitch, has a range of -1 to 1. Will always be 0 when LOCK is true

Gimbal:YAWANGLE
Type:scalar
Access:Get only

The gimbals current yaw, has a range of -1 to 1. Will always be 0 when LOCK is true

Gimbal:ROLLANGLE
Type:scalar
Access:Get only

The gimbals current roll, has a range of -1 to 1. Will always be 0 when LOCK is true
