stroytika Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Well this boils down to immersion, for me. your toon put his sword away at his waist, then pull his bow off his back to pop that nasty bandit in the eye is great, but going through 3rd person the vanishing sword and magically appearing bow take away from it a bit. i believe its feasible to just make a stowed bow sit in the tail slot and always use the sword, and that would have a similar effect. but would it be possible through scripting (something like what Nicoroshi does in mods like Nico's gift with the dual wielding, but repurposed) to make it so that when a sword it drawn, it puts a hotkeyed stowed bow in the tail slot, and then to do the opposite? (ie: put a tail slot model of the sheathed sword on when the bow is drawn). is it possible to link this to two hotkeyed items, lets say items keyed to 3 and 4? or would it have to be two specific items with the script set up for it (ie: a specific user created bow and sword). or is there another way altogether to do this? maybe use an amulet slot instead? (let them keep their cloaks! lol) and Finally, i have searched and crawled the files like crazy already looking, but does a mod that does this (or simulates it in ANY way) Exist?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrettyMurky Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Yeah, I've had the exact idea, but unfortunatly have no idea how it would be done. I think that in the CS, weapons are either 'back stored' or 'side stored', yeah, if hotkey 3 is the side slot, 4 the back, it could detect, whenever either is unequiped by a and put it to a new slot. I don't know if it would be worth it if it had to take up the tail slot, but I believe that its possible to create 'new' slots, I could be wrong though.

stroytika Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 i think that this modders resource does something similar, but does it to backstow dual wield swords http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=30851 . it creates another item which is the 2 swords on the players back (or dagger and sword stowed at the players side). it does it for specific swords though. but from what your saying murky, it may be feasible to make the script reference the 'back stowed' weapons model, so it could be made to be universal. it may be not be possible to adapt it, but it could be a big start on it. any modders interested in giving it a go?
