Hey, sorry in advance if this has been asked before but is there a way to change the hotkeys, specifically for the AR scanner? I'm in FNVEdit looking at all the CWxScanner script sources but can't find any references to the activator key other than maybe "EnableControl 5". I feel like that might be it since '5' is the "IsControlPressed" designation for 'Activate' but I'm not really too knowledgeable on this stuff and don't want to assume anything.

Just want to change the key to something else so I don't have to mess with B42 Contextual Leaning's keys (it uses Q and E to lean left and right respectively so having the scanner also on E is kinda inconvenient).

Yes, it's bound to the control code 5 (Activate), which is referenced in multiple places (EnableControl 5 re-enables normal activation). You'd have to find all operations with control 5 in CWxScanner scripts and change them.

Thank you for the clarification. Seems the only scripts that mention the control is CWxScannerQuestScript and CWxScannerStop, so I went ahead copied the scripts into an override esp and made the changes there but it doesn't seem to change the key even though the new file is overriding the old scripts. Did I miss anything or should I just have edited the original scripts?

I read that you shouldn't mess with the original scripts of a mod and use an override esp instead to avoid potential problems, so thats why I did it that way.

In CWxScannerQuestScript, you have five calls:

SetOnControlDownEventHandler CWxScannerOnScan 0 5
EnableControl 5
set iControl to GetControl 5
SetOnControlDownEventHandler CWxScannerOnScan 1 5
DisableControl 5

Make sure to change all of them. Did you compile your script in the GECK? If you did this in xEdit, it won't work, it only updates the source field.
(I'll probably add the option to change it in the next patch, I just don't know when it's going to happen.)

Yup that must be it then, I didn't have the GECK so that explains quite a bit. After opening it up, how do you compile the script? I found CWxScannerQuest but am unsure what to do with it from here.

First, install GECK Extender https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/64888
Find "Script" in the category tree on the left (CWxScannerQuest is in "Quest").
Find the scripts using the quick search field.
Edit and save the scripts.

Alright awesome, worked like a charm. Thanks a ton for walking a novice like me through the process. Makes me wonder what xEdit is even for if the GECK is where all the magic happens.
