Features
Realistic Torch Lighting: The torch can be lit based on hand placement detection and fire-type spells. Simply bring your hand close to the torch head with a fire spell equipped to ignite the torch.
Left and Right Hand Support: The mod tracks both hands accurately, ensuring torch interactions work seamlessly in either left or right-handed mode.
Automatic Torch Handling & Vanilla File Pathing: The mod automatically handles inventory torch swapping and only uses vanilla pathing for maximum compatibility with other mods.
Light Torches from Real-World Fire Sources: Now you can light your torch from real-world fire sources like candles and campfires by bringing it near the flame.
Douse Your Torch with Ice Spells: Douse your torch by placing your equipped ice spell hand near the torch head to extinguish the flame, adding new strategic elements.
Fully Compatible with All Mods: The mod is designed to be fully compatible with all other mods, ensuring no conflicts and enhancing your gameplay experience.
How It Works
If the player's hand is near the torch head and a flame-type spell is equipped, the torch will light up after a few seconds.
The mod uses VR controller positions and rotations to determine the torch's state and position.
Players equip a torch as usual, and the mod will automatically unequip the torch, add an unlit torch, and handle the equipping of these items seamlessly.
If the player is in-front of a fire source with the unlit torch equipped and flames spells sheathed, the torch will light.
The mod also allows players to douse their torch by having a frost type spell equipped and raising their hand near the torch head.
Installation
Install using your preferred mod manager and ensure the ESP is within the first 130 slots due to the use of the VR Tools API.
A new save game is not required but is always recommended with scripted mods.
Q&A: Does this work with VRIK holsters?
Yes, this issue has been resolved in the latest update (1.2)
Is this compatible with X?
While compatibility with other mods isn't guaranteed, the use of vanilla pathing should make it fully compatible with all torch mods. If issues arise, please report them, and patches for major torch mods can be provided.
