LE Newbie with modding

[PShepa]

I've never done much with modding except creating something from something that was already there. I would like to do more.

 

So! what to mod?

 

Well, how about more hotkeys. How about mulitple toggles on the same hotkey. Each hotkey would have multiple "slots" to which the player could assign whatever is "hotkeyable". I figure this could work by assigning a script to each hotkey. The script could tell the game; "for each press of the hotkey, a new item would be eguipped in the order the items were assigned to the hotkey by the player. This opens the door to an infinite number of hotkeys depending on the number of slots that are assigned to each hotkey.

 

Instead of limiting the number of slots per hotkey, let that be determined by the player. Everytime he, she or it assigns something to a hotkey, another slot is created for the new assignment under that hotkey.

 

Of course, to take care of clutter, there would have to be a way to select/delete assignments.

 

Can anybody help me get started with this? Thanks.

 

Once the basic mod was working, improvements could be added. Oh, something like, allowing the player to assign a particular hotkey special type such as "armor". For every press of the hotkey, the player would dress in a different outfit.

This is not a good idea? Can it be done?
