Description

This mod adds an option to immediately equip loose weapons and armor from the world, eat/drink food, use aid items or play holotapes rather than having to go into your inventory to equip them. Made upon request. When you install the mod you'll get an aid item called take and equip config, so you can enable or disable it as you wish. In version 1. 6 there's also the option to animate eating.

Version 1. 1 Please Read!!!

Full Version Requires F4SE

- Added eat/drink/use options for aid items.

- Added MCM

- Added option to drop equipped weapon when equipping new loose weapon from the world.

- Added reference accuracy option which equips the actual weapon/armor if you picked up if there are multiple of the same type in your inventory. This has the        potential though to clear a favorited weapon/armor if you equip an item of the same type.

- Added equip hotkey, which when held will equip any item added to your inventory. Works from container menus. Unfortunately this does not equip the exact weapon/armor reference. If you already have that armor/weapon type, it will equip the first it finds in your inventory. There doesn't seem to be a way around this as references aren't stored in menus by papyrus.

Theres also a No MCM version doesn't have the hotkey capability - but doesn't require F4SE

Version 1. 2 - I added a play option for holotapes. Normally this only works about half the time, so I added a script that force plays the dialogue scene if just equipping doesn't work. This feature only works for vanilla holotapes. I haven't done the DLC holotapes yet but I plan to.

A note to mod authors. If you want your holotape to play all of the time when equipping with this mod, add this simple script to your holotape:

Scriptname TakeAndEquipPlayTapeScript Extends ObjectReference

Scene Property MyHolotapeScene Auto

Event OnEquipped(Actor akActor)

If akActor == Game. GetPlayer()

Utility. Waitmenumode(1) ;waits to see if scene runs normally

If MyHolotapeScene. IsPlaying() == false

MyHolotapeScene. Start()

Version 1. 4 - Added option to always drop equipped weapon when equipping a new weapon. Note that if your new weapon is the same type as your equipped weapon, your equipped weapon won't be dropped to prevent bugs. If set to loose, you only drop your equipped weapon when equipping loose weapons from the world.

Version 1. 5 - Added op
