[REQ] Detonator Hotkey

Post » Wed Sep 29, 2010 11:13 am

Like the title says, I'd love a hotkey that can be pressed which will detonate c4, instead of having to equip the detonator separately. It seems like a very simple mod anyone who knows how to script could throw together in a small amount of time, considering detonation is handled with one very small script (or just one command: player.detonateplacedexplosives). To complicate things though, I think that it should only work if you have the detonator in your inventory. What do you all think?

you can't bind the detonator to a key and simply click?

Yeah, of course, but that way you have to equip it and then fire it. What I'm envisioning is something where you just press a button and your c4 explodes.

I'd prefer it if this worked similar to the grenade hotkey mod from FO3 - you pull the detonator out and click it and things explode, as opposed to you push a button and things explode due to your magic mind powers.

I'd think you'd be able to add this to the grenade hotkey list without problems. That mod simply draws and fires the weapon, so the detonator should work the same as a grenade, I'd think.

Yeah, showler does have a point. Maybe it can even be integrated in that mod once Kai releases it.

Yeah simple enough to add the detonator to the hotkey rotation, will do just that.
