[LE] Race locking items

[leavemealonenub]

I am new to modding with the Creation Kit and am wondering if there is a way to make items unusable by vampires and werewolves. All help is welcome, even if it is to tell me it isn't possible.

What do you mean by.

"if there is a way to make items unusable by vampires and werewolves"

You need to be a little more clear, cause that makes little sense.

I am making a mod that is supposed to have items that should only be accessible to the standard variant of every race. like a breton or a khajiit could pick up or equip the items, but if the game classes them as a vampire or werewolf variant, the items become useless/hidden. I want the quest line I plan to develop to be hidden if the player is a vampire or werewolf, and I want the items to be useless if they are obtained somehow.

There are couple of ways you could do this, here is a simple example:

- Let's say that you have an armor that you want to add a 'Perk' when the player equips it.

You could make a script that when the player equips the armor to check for vampirism.

Perk Property MyPerk auto

Spell Property VampSpell auto

{The spell to check for vampirism}

 

Event OnEquipped(Actor akActor)

    If ( akActor == Game.GetPlayer())

       If (akActor.HasSpell(VampSpell))

          ; Do Nothing

     Else

           akActor.AddPerk(MyPerk)

   EndIf

EndIf

EndEvent

This way even if the Player is a vampire and equips the armor the Perk will not be added.

With the same logic you could use a "Key Word" to check if the player is a vampire or a werewolf.

I hope it helps.
