Emergency melee attack hotkey.

[SgtH4wk]

So you're scavenging some random building, you go around the corner and suddenly you have a raider holding a knife to your face. Without hesitation you quickly pull out your combat knife and slice that scum-bag, he then stumbles backwards as you finish him off using your caravan shotgun.

 

Basicly what I'm asking for is a mod that, when you press a user-changable hotkey it will automaticly equip a melee weapon and attack, then switch back to your previous weapon. Behaving allmost exactly as the grenade hotkey does. If one doesn't have a melee weapon then pressing the hotkey they would simply punch their target instead.

 

If possible, I would prefer the attack animation of the combat knife's charging attack, but without the side-effect of charging forward. Allthough I'm unsure if that can be done outside of editing the weapons .NIF itself. Another usefull feature would be having the mod check a leveled list to see what weapons can be hotkeyed, that way weapons added from mods(such as CFWNV) can be supported.

 

I would appreciate it of someone would make this, or point me in the right direction so that I could make it.

Update:

Reactive people - Ultimatum has a basic veriion of this, however it only works if you have a normal combat knife(uniques such as Chance's knife don't even work).

If someone can make a standalone version which follows the suggested features in my first post, I would greatly appreciate it.
