Draw Weapon Key

Draw Weapon Key

Allows you to draw or holster weapons with a single hotkey (or key combination).

The mod searches for weapons and stores items according to a container priority defined in the configuration file.

Supported sources and storage locations: • BagSlot — belt/back slot (item equipped on the back)
• InnerClothes — inner suit / clothing
• OuterClothes — outer suit / diving suit
• BagInventory — backpack contents
• CharacterInventory — character inventory (including the hotbar)

If the character holds any non-weapon items that block drawing a weapon, the mod will attempt to move them into available inventories.

By default, the mod is activated with the same button as "Toggle Inventory" in the control settings.
You can change this key (or combination) and the container priority through a configuration file.

** Changing the Hotkey **

You can use: • Game input actions (InputType) — e.g. "ToggleInventory", "Run", "Use"
• Physical keys (Keys) — e.g. "Q", "LeftControl", "F"

All keys in the combo must be of the same type.

Examples:

// Single key
{ "keys": ["Q"] }

// Combination (InputType)
{ "keys": ["Run", "ToggleInventory"] }

// Combination (physical keys)
{ "keys": ["LeftControl", "Q"] }
