Shield when using the "Attack my target" option for protection

This mod will automatically release and equip your shield and your follower's shield when you and your follower sheath and draw your weapons. Archers can issue an attack my target command to all followers of an enemy enemy.

Thank you for taking the time to download and try this mod.

====What is this mod====

When your minion goes through the idle animation, he/she will not cancel the shield. Check out the pictures I posted on this mod page for some fun animations.

This mod will allow you to assign a follower to be automatically equipped and unshielded. If you have a mod that allows multiple, this mod can assign up to 10 followers. I've uploaded my own Skysan_FollowerEX mod under optional downloads, which allows up to 10 followers.

====How====

This mod uses a hidden quest called "SkysanUnequipShield" to equip and release the shield. It does not modify any NPC actors in the game, so you can use any facial model or follow mode.

Completely rewriting my oldrim mod to use quest based.

This mod's script monitors your players for weapon draws and sheathe, bow zooms and sneaky moves.

Every registered minion will automatically have their shields disarmed on their weapons.

When you use the bow and scale options, it will command all registered minions to attack your enemies. You will see the "Attack!" message. The minion will sometimes not see the enemy and start searching for the enemy animation.

The follower will use the shield to draw the weapon when he/she encounters an enemy in the game.

If you don't see your followers after fast traveling or a pattern that can be transferred to another location, draw or wear all registered followers.

This mod does not use "RegisterUpdate for #second loop" so it does not consume resources. This mod monitors the mission items of this mod that your players or followers have equipped.

This mod has additional automatic armor equipped and unequipped when a registered follower is drawn and armored. The armor has to be an extra part of the main armor, like the gaiter parts of my glass model, equipped to the "49 Mod Pelvis" body slot.

Please read the compatibility section for another mod that can remove this mod's monitoring and automation.

====Assign Followers====

Put your correct weapon into the fruit hand and look at the minions you want to assign.

Draw your weapon and make sure your right hand is exposed.

You should be close to this minion, so no other minions are targeted. The Talk option should appear on this follower.

Draw your weapon or pull it out if you already have it out, then do the sneak mod (crouch).

You will see the "SUS: Registered Follower #" message.

Go to another follower and repeat steps #1 to #4.

If you repeat these steps on a registered follower, the follower will be removed from this mod's automation. You will see the "SUS: Unregistered follower #" message.

====Attack my target option====

If your player is an archer, you can issue the attack my target command to all fans near you. You need to be in sneak mode and click on the zoom option (left trigger on the gamepad) to trigger your minion to attack the enemy you're targeting. If you are too far away from the enemy, the minion will exit combat mode because he/she will not be able to see the enemy. If there is a transparent object between you and an enemy, such as a cage-bar door, Skyrim will not be able to see the enemy behind the see-through door.

====Uninstall====

Load the save without this mod, then play and save. Uninstall this mod via NMM or delete the ESP and BSA files.

If you want to use this mod for save-uninstall, use the following steps.

Open the console by pressing the tilda key (~)

Type "stopquest skysanunequipshield" without the double quotes

Press the tilda key to lower the console (~)

Uninstall this mod's automation and perform the next verification step

Equip your player with a shield and draw your weapon and sheath. You will see that your character no longer automatically unlocks the shield.

Save the game …
