How to make keys droppable / storable in containers?

[YouDoNotKnowMyName]

Good morning everybody!

 

There doesn't seem to be anything like a checkbox in the CK to make a key (or all keys) droppable like normal items.

Is this possible?

 

Because it would really be kind of weird that keys aren't droppable.

Keys are not droppable. I think it's hardcoded..

 

You can create a Misc item instead of Key, then attach an "unlock" script to your object reference (I'd use GetItemCount()).

A working solution that I never bothered publishing;

 

;SKK Inventory Key Remover

;Removes 257 known base/dlc keys and passwords from player inventory to other containers without changing any base game forms at all.

;Put the [.SKK Keyring of Transferring] in a container and all keys and passwords that are normally stuck in MISC player inventory will follow it into the container.

;Unfortunatley this can include active quest objects that you will need to fish back out, so take care.

;You will be warned if the container is not the same that was last used to successfully transfer keys to avoid spreading 'em around.

;If the container is non persistent your keys will probably be cleaned out during cell reset.

;Guranateed persistent non resetting containers: Workshops, SKK Global Stash, SKK Personal Stash.

;If items were transferred the keying stays in the new container so it can be used to retrieve them back to the player.

;If no items were transferred, the keyring is returned to the player for another use (close/open Pipboy to refresh inventory).

;If you have no keys in inventory, the only way to dispose of a keyring is to drop on the ground (can workshop scrap it), then spares can be crafted at chemlab/utility.

;This knows about 190 base game objects, 4 from DLC01 Automatron, 25 from DLC03 Coast, 36 from DLC04 Nuka without any DLC master dependencies.

;Add your own or mod content using xEdit on FormList SKK_IKRUserkeys (best to save over ride file so you can upgrade the base mod).

;This solution makes no changes to any existing objects in your game at all. None. No compatbiltiy issues at all. Ever. Fact.

I know that there is a mod that allows you to store keys in a special "container", but I was looking for a solution to acutally drop keys.

 

Since there is no "keys" tab in the pipboy menu, using a misc item and checking for its presence with a script to unlock stuff might be the best solution here ...
