Setting a vessel's state vectors

[tblaxland]

I've had a long day so forgive me if I missed this in the manual: How can I set a vessel's state vectors directly? I know there is SetElements but I already have calculated what the state vectors should be and I would rather avoid using the extra CPU cycles converting them to state vectors.

Background: I am writing a scenario wizard for the Ananke project and I want to "teleport" the payload vessel to the correct position, velocity and time so Ananke can throw it to the moon.

vessel->DefSetStateEx(&vs2);

VESSELSTATUS2 has rpos and rvel VECTOR3 members, which AFAIR are the state vectors.

Thanks! I tried that one but I was getting a CTD so I thought perhaps it wasn't valid outside of initial vessel creation. I guess I have another bug to track down. Where's that fly swat?

After you declare the VESSELSTATUS2 struct, make sure you have

memset(&vs, 0, sizeof(vs));

This prevents incorrect data from being passed when you call DefSetStateEx

OK, thanks.
