NVSE plugin to make all weapons automatic (fire as fast as they can as long as the button is held)

[Bunslinger]

new vegas' gunplay is a little finicky, there's this strange phenomenon where you have to time your clicks just right to get the maximum fire-rate out of a weapon that's semi-automatic (this is especially apparent with plasma weapons that slightly lag the game when shot)

 

I find simply adding the "is automatic" flag to weapons in xEdit does the trick, but the problem with this of course is compatibility, and how editing every form would cause several issues with mods.

 

would it be possible to make this into an NVSE plugin? basically a plugin that checks if a weapon does not have the "is automatic" flag and adds it if it doesn't. fire rates are already maintained in a weapon's form data, so basically the function of this plugin would be that you can simply hold down the button with any weapon to fire as fast as the weapon can, so you're always getting the maximum fire-rate consistently from any weapon.

you don't do that in FNVEdit or with NVSE, you do that in the GECK in each weapons table

You could always make the edits in whatever mod you use that changes weapon stats so that compatibility is no longer a concern.

 

You couldn't share it without explicit permission obviously.

is editing each weapon's form not the same thing as the weapon's table? i'm aware you can do this, i mean to supersede the need to with a simple plugin that does it all automatically without having to manually edit the specific weapon's form data

 

EDIT:

 

Ah, okay, I found something that has a feature that basically does what I want. For anyone stumbling across this thread in search of something like I've described, it's called JIP Selective-Fire. It has a feature called "Rest Ye Finger" that says, "With this enabled, semi-automatic weapons will continue firing for as long as the Attack control is held, relieving you of the need to repeatedly press it".
