Draw Weapon
Version: 1.4.1
by: Chivana [More]
Do you like exploring the world with your weapon drawn?

And does it annoy you, that when interacting with certain things, like gathering flying insects, looting heavy sacks, lockpicking chests, or general harvesting, your character automatically sheaths the weapon?

This simple little Addon might be the solution:
It toggles the weapon to be drawn as soon as you move again, use Roll Dodge (Hasty Retreat with Bow equipped), crouch (Stealth) or sprint (Shift key).
Optional the weapon can be automatically sheathed when you are sprinting.
Both toggles happen only out of combat, not while mounted or swimming, and can be configured in the settings menu.

In case Sprint is not bound to Shift the addon can now check the movement speed. Enable Debug to display your speed and set the Sprint detection slider accordingly. Set the slider to 0 if you use the default keybind.

Enjoy!

This has been a lifesaver during this latest eso bug

The latest block bug in eso came on Dec 5th and prevents blocking completely until you either relog or rezone, theres some mount trick but thats not usable in content of course, and its caused by trying to block while sheathed. Needless to say the addon here prevents sheathing and thus has comeletwely eliminated the block bug from happening to me. Just figured you might find that amusing and wanted to thank you for an awesome addon. I never understood why the game would have such a long delay to attack when your sheathed. I never really noticed how bad it was until I started tanking runs and Id go to pull a group and while unsheathing they would just scatter pass me and rape the dps and healer.

Sometimes when mounting, the addon unsheathes the weapon after the mount hotkey has already sheathed it. Resulting in an awkward extra delay of sheathe, unsheathe, sheath, mount.

It already does if you set Auto-draw ON and leave the sub-options OFF.

I tried that first (draw after harvesting etc.) but gave up in version 1.1 as it became way too complicated.
Auto draw works like you said, there is a lag to bringing out the weapon. Anyway to reduce the lag?

I'll try this (and a keybind)

Could there be a keybind / hotkey for it to toggle it on/off? Thanks!
There is an in game keybind already to stow the weapon.
I get it now, you want to toggle Draw Weapon on and off. That could be included in my suggestion. I think the Draw Stow weapon addons could be merged with some automation added for where you are in the game there are plenty of addons that do that already with CP points.

Auto stow when you first enter a town would be one suggestion and turn off the draw weapon while in a town.

Also, couldn't you trigger the draw weapon based on movement speed? That would work for those not using shift for a run keybind. There are at least two addons that have code for detecting movement speed. And I think there is an in game stat for base move speed so you could detect walk versus run based on speed after adjusting for base movement speed.

If you click the link, you will see that the library is named LibAddonMenu, but actually is LAM2.

Hello ! Yes I had the sprint binded to something else. I changed it back to Shift and it works perfectly ! Thx so much. It sounds stupid, but as a new player, I spent like a week and a half struggling with choosing my main, that I loved for the background story I had in my head, but hated the unarmed sprinting animation that was so goofy. Your addon solved this problem and I am now totally in with my main Thx !
