📋 About This Mod
As Overview.
Has a loose version of the script included in Automatically Lowered Weapons, but now with a dependency on Baka Framework which exposed the games code to detect when pipboy light is active ( pipboy light active also covers when weapon flashlight is active )
So I just inserted a tiny bit of code that checks if its active, and if it is, do not lower weapon.
Requires Baka Framework and Automatically Lowered Weapons.
Note : if you turn flashlight on when gun is lowered, it wont automatically un-lower, and vice versa if you turn flashlight off it wont automatically lower.
This just adds an additional check when the trigger for automatically lowered weapons is fired ( few seconds after aiming, running etc ) so if you want to prompt it to adopt the new behavior after you toggle your flashlight, just aim down the sights briefly, then itll check again for flashlight status.
This patch modifies the Automatically Lowered Weapons mod so weapons stay raised while a flashlight is on, preventing the weapon from pointing at the floor when using modded weapons with rail flashlights. It's a small compatibility fix for immersive players who use flashlights.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Install this patch after the main Automatically Lowered Weapons mod and let it overwrite if prompted.

- Test with a weapon that has a rail flashlight to confirm the fix works before heading into combat.
