Could someone please make a mod where you can equip 2 different weapons, a main weapon and a sidearm, that you can switch to by hitting 1 or 2 (editable) on your keyboard. just so you don't have to go into your pipboy when you need to switch weapons like from your rifle to your big iron in a pinch. just hit 1 or 2 and your character with holster the rifle and quickly pull out the pistol blam blam blam and then you hit 1 and your guy will holster his pistol and re equip the rifle. if you see what i mean.

 

or if a mod like this exists already, could someone provide me a link please?

If I'm understanding what your asking you can do this with the games built in hotkeys. Set up 1 for a longrifle and 2 for a sidearm.

 

If your question is more subtle or my sleep deprived brain is not processing it correctly, there are functions to grab the id for a hotkey slot and manipulate it via other functions (re-assigning etc), but I'd need a more concise explanation of what your trying to acomplish.

To further explain what devin mentioned.

In the PiP boy ... you hover the pointer over the weapon/item ... and press one of the hotkeys holding it down. (1-8 on keyboard , not number pad) It will bring up something resembling the D Pad of a controller ,,, then you press fire to assign the item to that hotkey.

 

Which if you are using a controller , the 8 directions of Dpad becomes the hotkeys.

 

So then in game without pipboy , you just press one of the hotkeys / Dpad direction to do exactly what you were mentioning. However you still only see 1 item at a time equipped/holstered.

For incase you were alluding to a dual weapon wield type thing and or multi weapon holstered display ?

As Mktavish posted, it is already part of the game. See: https://steamcommunity.com/app/22380/discussions/0/522728813983960370/

 

Found by using GOOGLE. Try it, you'll like it.

Oh, yeah, i forgot about that. hm, guess that could work :/ and yeah it would be pretty cool to see both rifle and sidearm equipped on your character at the same time.

No worries

I was making weapons and other items (like gas masks, power armor backpacks etc) that would display on one's person, even though they were not actively equipped in this and other threads;

However, there is a mod that is more complete and does the same for all weapons (I believe).

 

When I create new weapons, I'll usually include the ability for them to display on a player, even if they're not equipped. Here's an example of Odachi that does so;

IStewieAL's Tweaks has a last-equipped weapon hotkey.
