Sticky Weapons
Version: 1.1.1
by: Noromdrol [More]
Sticky Weapons

What is it?
As I was running around Tamriel as my sorcerer, I began to become annoyed that my staff would get
put away every time I read a book, or absorbed a skyshard, or fiddled with a switch, or jumped on
my horse, or... really, just about anything. So, I wrote a little addon which will keep my weapon
drawn, no matter what. But, then it began to bug me that, when in town, my weapon was always out,
which seemed at odds with the surroundings. I'm no role player, but it seemed really weird. So,
I added the ability to swap between keeping your weapon sheathed and unsheathed. Then, added a
hotkey so that it mimics the normal sheathe/unsheathe hotkey and BOOM! Here it is for your enjoyment.

TL;DR
This addon will prevent your weapons from getting sheathed or unsheathed, whichever you prefer.
Also provides a hotkey to switch the two modes.

Features
  • Run around with either your weapons drawn all the time or automatically put away.
  • Works in both keyboard/mouse and gamepad mode.
  • Can set a delay before putting weapons away. (configurable)
  • If weapons are sheathed, can be automatically unsheathed if you enter combat. (configurable)
  • A key can be bound in controls to mimic the standard sheathe/unsheathe the game normally provides. (configurable)
  • Slash command "/sw" will bring up the addon settings.

Can you add an option to unsheathe weapons while crouched/sneaking?

Hi, please always add non optional dependencies to all of your addon "description" too, so users can find the needed libraries via Minion and esoui.com more easily.
Thank you.

## DependsOn: LibAddonMenu-2.0>=31
-> Time to update this line too, current LibAddonMenu would be LibAddonMenu-2.0>=35

The most up2date addonversion of these libs can be found in the libraries txt file at the ## AddOnVersion: tag

I made a patch yesterday which may resolve your issue. It waits until the saved vars are loaded before attempting anything. Check out the new version and let me know if that helps.

So far I've not been able to reproduce this issue. I see that's it's failing on the state change. Does it do this constantly or when you first log in? Is it a new character or one you've had for a bit?

Howdy. Sorry, I've been dealing with some things for a few months. I've just recently checked things out. I get a bazillion errors from almost all my addons. They must've done a large update. I'll take a look and see if I can't hammer it out, but it'll take me another week or so before I can seriously look at it.

Yep, I was thinking the same thing. Also an automatic unsheathe when leaving town, entering a dungeon/delve/trial/battleground/etc.
I 2nd this. It would be very handy to sheathe weapons in towns to make it quicker to turn in daily writs.
(I have the settings all selected to unsheathe. And with both settings on "unsheathe", it makes turning in daily writs take double the time. Works out to just a few seconds more, but it's actually quite inconvenient. lol)

edit: same with the initialization message, these are unecessary and affect the welcoming experience in game.
I can add an option to hide it.

I don't think it would be wise to force account wide settings, because with an addon like this, people may want different settings for different characters.
But an option in the settings to toggle on for those of us that will use the same settings for all characters would be very helpful.

Thank you for your work!
Ah, thank you for pointing that out. It has been quite a while since I wrote anything from scratch. I'll update it and, of course, look into implementing an account wide preference.
