Magnetic Weapon Holsters Native Support

Information

Magnetic Weapon Holsters works by attaching specifically named and configured keywords, up until now we assumed it used the FormId to do its magic.

What was discovered is that it does not matter where the keywords originated from, so you can create these keywords in your mod, add them to your custom weapon form and its automatically supported when a user has Magnetic Weapon Holsters installed along with your mod.

If a user doesnt have Magnetic Weapon Holsters installed then the keywords effectively do nothing, meaning it costs basically nothing for you to add this to your mod with zero down sides.

Keyword Setup

There are two keywords, you only need the one you are going to use, if you have both sidearms and melee then you will need both.

xR_Holster (Sidearms)

This keyword is used for sidearms.

Create a new keyword with the ID xR_Holster
Set the keyword type to WeaponHolster

You can set the color exactly as below if you want to, but it does not seem to need it.

xR_HolsterMelee (Melee Weapons)

This keyword is used for melee weapons.

Create a new keyword with the ID xR_HolsterMelee
Set the keyword type to WeaponHolster

You can set the color exactly as below if you want to, but it does not seem to need it.

Adding it to your weapon

All that you need to do now is just add it to your weapons Keywords on the General tab.

I didnt take a screenshot as it should be well known how to add a keyword to a weapon

Final Thoughts

Thats it! Thats all you have to do and now your weapon will natively be supported by Magnetic Weapon Holsters with out a patch.
