📋 About This Mod
Powered by Script Extender
What The Mod Does
When a summon is added to the party, it is given two container spells containing the actions listed below.
All actions listed below are contained within 2 Containers Actions.
Summons that die or are unsummoned will have all their items drop on the ground at their previous position, but if you don't like taking risks I wouldn't rely on it.
I haven't had any cases of items not being dropped upon death while making this mod.
Any equipped items that the summon spawns with is InventoryBound and cannot be dropped, only unequipped.
This mod completely ignores Story Items due to bad behavior with the script.
You should not run the risk of letting a summon hold a story item anyways.

Pick Up and Equip Item (Primary)
Target an item on the ground within 1. 5m and pick it up.
Upon picking it up, the mod will attempt to automatically equip the item if possible.
Any item that was previously in that equipment slot is dropped on the ground.
If the item cannot be equipped, nothing happens.
Pick Up and Equip Item Secondary
Target a Melee Weapon, Ranged Weapon, or Ring on the ground within 1. 5m and pick it up.
If the item is not one of the listed types, nothing happens.
If it is a Melee or Ranged Weapon, the mod will attempt to equip it in the Offhand Slot.
If it cannot be added to the Offhand Slot due to dual-wielding rules, nothing happens.
If it is a Ring, it will attempt to equip that Ring in the second Ring Slot instead of the first Ring Slot.
If the MainHand or first Ring Slot is not occupied, it will equip the item there instead.
Any item that was previously in that equipment slot is dropped on the ground.
Equip Original Gear
Re-equip the summon's original gear (if it had any). Since the gear is InventoryBound, it will always be in their inventory.
There is no way to move items around in the summons's inventory, so this action is the only way to re-equip the item.
Pick Up and Add to Inventory
Target an item on the ground within 1. 5m and add it to the summon's inventory.
Pick Up Multiple Items
Target up to 12 items within 3m and add them to the summon's inventory
