Question Retrieving planet data in Lua

[Mogeley]

I'm doing some scripting in Lua and I need to find the parameters of objects other than vessels; such as planets, surface bases, landing pads, and runways.

I can get the object handles, but I don't see a way to retrieve any other information.

In the Lua scripting interface can I treat a planet like a vessel to return it's properties?

I appreciate anyone who can help me on this.

The Lua interface isn't complete yet. I try to add more functions as I go along, but providing a full interface to the entire API is a major undertaking. I don't expect this to be complete by the time of the next release.

If you have any particular functions (not too many please) you want me to prioritise, let me know.

Hmmm... Since that's the case. I'll take what I'm working on and move it to a MFD in c++.
