LE Fidderling with Animated Weapons - Script

[maniczombie]

I'm currently trying to replicate my own version of Dwarven Mechanical Equipment so far I have 2 wrist blades, a 2h wep and a shoulder cannon working using his system of having 2 separate items for sheath and draw and switching between them.

 

The problems that occur with this are the items duplicating or being left behind when unsheathing even when adding script to remove those items.

 

Also as the weapon(s) are switching between 2 objects you cannot keep 1 of them on the Favorites menu as it will be deleted.

I would rather not go for the approach of having 2 weapons in your inventory all the time.

 

After looking at the Dual Sheath plus Shields on Back mod I figured I could take another approach where I have 1 persistent weapon for the animation, stats and favorite slot and two armor objects in an unused slot for the visuals of the sheathed and drawn weapon. This idea works fine when sheathed but when drawn, the weapon stays on the players back. I've tried changing the NiStringExtraData of the Drawn model to NPC R Hand [RHnd] but that has very bad effects on the game causing buggy visuals, including a black screen with very bright lights o.O

 

Anyone having anything to add or any ideas for better solutions to this?

 

Thanks for listening =) Hope to hear from anyone1 soon
