Just Drop It

@lvdsvl, it's more time than anything else (aside from aptitude imho, but still relative). Among other things, I lack time.

This mod came out a few years after my little poc:

There is an "unofficial" B42 version of the above by another uploader. I think it has what you need?

And then, if you push one of those inputs, but there’s nothing to drop, and at the same time your cursor points on an item (whether on the floor or in a container’s menu), you could attempt to equip said item in the corresponding slot.

I wish I could code myself

If I was a coder I’d probably do it myself but I’m just a silly designer so I’ve got a different suggestion for controls:

Z == drop a genny/corpse
Z+LMB == drop your “equip primary” thing
Z+RMB == drop your “equip secondary” thing
Z+MMB (or possibly Z+RMB+LMB if fancy) == drop your backpack, and then fanny packs, one by one as you press repeatedly

All regardless of whether you have containers equipped in your hands, jerry cans, tools or weapons, etc.

This will allow for intuitive selection of what to drop, and will streamline actions that should feel much more unconscious than they do in vanilla, like dropping log stacks or said jerry cans, or the actual containers.

If someone could be a really strong coder, they could even make it so that if you hover your mouse over an opened container’s menu and push the desired combination, you will attempt to drop the corresponding item into that container.

update?

This mod is making my items have a red label when i try to transfer them to containers, even though the container has space. Bug or can that be disabled?

@Yosemite_Sam

Enable Steam Input in the steam controller configurator. Took about 15 seconds from there to map 'Z' on my xbox one controller.

Love this mod! Would you be able to add controller support? I mapped L5 on my Steam Deck to Z, but there isn't an alternative with a regular controller. Could you add it to one of the radial menus? Maybe the same menu as the speed and zoom controls?

Thank you!

Jerry cans aren't considered containers like bags, they are a usable item like duct tape, twine, etc.

For dropping generators/heavy bodies, the following works in singleplayer. I haven't tested in MP. For performance reasons, I'd suggest doing this first, before checking for bags. There's no need to check for bags to drop if the player has gen/body in hand imo. Feel free to use it, don't care about credit, it's been working for me fine but don't shoot me if it breaks things. :)

local primaryItem = player:getPrimaryHandItem();

if primaryItem and isForceDropHeavyItem(primaryItem) then
ISTimedActionQueue.add(ISUnequipAction:new(player, primaryItem, 50))
return
end

@Gaist Heidegger Eggon's Hotkeys has a hotkey to pickup/drop corpses if you're interested. ;)
