Torch Key

This mod provides a hotkey for torch handling such as equipping, unarming and placing the torch on the ground.

What this mod does:

This mod provides multi-function hotkeys for easy operation of the cutting torch. (default key = Y)

If you have a torch in your inventory, this hotkey will equip a torch (unless certain conditions are met). If clicked again, the flashlight will not be equipped to your inventory. If you have a torch equipped, you can double-click the hotkey to place the torch in front of you. If any of the above operations cannot continue, the mod will alert you.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between Simple Drop Lit Torch?

This is almost the same as the mod without MCM. Starting with version 1.01, the script keeps track of the last equipped weapon or spell and equips the torch if it is not equipped. It also recognizes when mining, smelting, forging, sitting, or other animations are performed to re-equip the torch. Introduced global variables to allow mod customization from plugins. Very minor optimizations done to reduce script load. Added a failure message to alert players if they cannot drop or equip the flashlight. Players have limited torch handling while swimming. Added torch ignition when dropped on an oil puddle. There are more variations, but not enough to name here. Internationalize the mod using SKSE.

What is the future of this mod?

Depends on your requirements. If there are enough requests to make an MCM for this mod, this mod will evolve into another mod called "Simple Hotkeys", providing the functionality of Torch Key, Whistle Key, and Dual Parry Key. If not, then you will see these keys available as separate mods.

How can I help develop this mod?

Although this mod has just been released, it is somewhat in the final stages of development. You can do this by suggesting new things to implement for this mod, by reading the description page, my posts or in-game messages and suggesting revisions, as you may have noticed that I am not a native English speaker and there are a lot of errors in these texts.

You can also provide translations for this mod by following the instructions on the translation topic.
