SM Drop Lit Torches
Created By the Strategy Master
----------------------------------------------
This mod allows you to drop lit torches to the ground when you can't spare a hand to hold it.
When you switch from a torch to another weapon/spell/shield the previously equipped torch will be dropped to the floor.
If you pick up the torch on the ground without a weapon in your left hand or with no weapons drawn and you are not sneaking you will automatically re-equip the torch.
You can also manually drop a torch from your inventory and you will drop a lit torch (this only works when dropping a single torch)
When you pick up a torch for the first time a new lesser power called Hotkey Torch will be added.
When you equip this power the following will occur:
- If you have a weapon in your left hand and you are in combat you will drop a torch to the ground.
- If you already have a torch equipped it will re-equip your previous item in your left hand (dropping the torch if nessecary)
- Otherwise you will just equip a torch.
You can also use the hotkey torch in the favourites menu. This is better than favouriting a torch because it will not be removed when you run out of torches.

Version History
----------------------------------------------
v3.0
- SKSE is now required as it fixes all the bugs with torches not dropping for certain equipment types.
- Fixed issue where right handed weapons caused torches to drop in certain situations.
- Added cleaner uninstall option
- You no longer need weapons drawn when switching to a weapon to drop a torch. The check for weapons drawn was unreliable in certain animation events.
- Hotkey torch behavior changed:
*If you have a weapon in your left hand and you are in combat you will drop a torch to the ground.
*If you already have a torch equipped it will re-equip your previous item in your left hand (dropping the torch if nessecary)
*Otherwise you will just equip a torch.
- If you are sneaking when you pick up a torch on the ground you will not auto equip it.
v2.0
- Redesigned the core script (should be more reliable and fix alot of the existing torch drop bugs)
- You can now use the hotkey torch to drop torches.
: If a weapon is equipped and weapons are drawn when pressing the key it will drop a torch
: Otherwise torch is equipped
: If torch is already equipped it will be unequipped
- Hotkey torch will now revert to your previously equipped equipment if you have no torches
- Dropped torches are now changed to be owned by the player (To prevent crime triggers happening again when you pick up a dropped stolen torch)
v1.4
- Fixed a number of critical threading issues that would cause odd torch dropping behavior
- Fixed an issue where in certain cases torches would be duplicated when dropped (engine bug)
- Added code to ensure that dropped torches have the same owner as when held in your inventory.
v1.3
-Fixed compatability issues with mods that modify the player actor (thanks to Gerauld)
-Fixed a flaw that could allow you to duplicate torches when dropping more than one. A lit torch will now only be dropped if you drop 1.

v1.2
- Added a Hotkey torch lesser power to use as a favourite so you dont have to keep rebinding torches to your favourites when you drop them all.
