Fallout New Vegas

Legend: 1HP (One Handed Pistols), 2HA (Two Handed Automatic), 2HR (Two Handed Rifle), 2HH (Two Handed Handle)

1HP, 2HH, and grenade animations are global so everything will work automatically. The 2HR animations are not global but it is already scripted in Titans to automatically search for and add lever action rifles (something that I've actually forgotten about). So it's really just 2HA weapons we're looking at. To apply the 2HA animations to a new weapon, it needs to be added to the form list first:

TNWOneHanded2HAList

There are a few different methods to do this. First method is via runner script. This requires JIP NVSE. Create a .txt file in "*MyMod*\nvse\plugins\scripts\" with the name prefix "gr_" (ie, gr_mymod.txt), and add the following lines to the text file:

ListAddForm TNWOneHanded2HAList MyAutomaticGun

You can look at "gr_tnw_titans_1h_1ha.txt" in Titans as a reference, if needed.

Second is a traditional quest script. Create a new quest in your ESP plugin, fill the quest ID (ie. MyQuest), tick the "Start Game Enabled" box, and attach the following as a Quest Script to your quest:
scn MyQuestScript

Begin MenuMode

    if GetGameRestarted
    else
        return
    endif

StopQuest MyQuest

ListAddForm TNWOneHanded2HAList MyAutomaticGun

End

Third is dragging and dropping the weapon form into the form list in GECK. This is however often problematic because direct changes like this will create a snapshot of the modified forms in the plugin, which means if those specific forms were to be updated by the mod, they will be reverted back to the whatever state they were left in in the patch plugin. I would avoid this method in general unless you know exactly what you're doing.

    Can 2HA be scripted like 1HP to work automatically? Thanks.

    This has helped me a lot in patching my load order but there's one thing I think I need cleared up? What FormList does the normal 2 Handed Rifles fall under? (ex Hunting Rifle, Battle Rifle, Sniper Rifle) Like what is the command? 

    "ListAddForm (?)* GunIwanttopatch"                 *FormList I don't know but would like to

    Sorry, if I'm not meant to post here I just need some clarification. Thanks for the amazing mod and hard work you do!
