SSE Question on EquipItem() in script.

[TheWanderer001]

I have this working with AddItem() and EquipItem() with it not being able to be unequipt by the player but...

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to force equip an item of clothing/armour without it ever showing up in the players inventory?

To add an item to the player without been seen in its inventory, you only have to remove the name of the item, have it blank (the name not its ID).

To keep an item equipped, you either:

- Use "DisablePlayerControls( bool abMenu = true )"

- Have the flag on the "EquipItem()" > "bool abPreventRemoval = TRUE"

* Another alternative, but this needs to have the player on an alias.

- Run on the player's alias a simple script.

Example:

Armor Property MySecretArmor Auto

 

Event OnObjectEquipped(Form akBaseObject, ObjectReference akReference)

     If ( Player.IsEquipped(MySecretArmor) )

          RETURN

 ElseIf ( (akBaseObject as Armor) != MySecretArmor )

          Player.EquipItem(MySecretArmor, True, True)

 EndIf

Endevent

Have a nice weekend

If it's a custom item of clothing, just untick the Playable box in the Creation Kit. You can still equip it with script, but it won't show up in the inventory.

Thanks both it seems both ways work :thumbsup:

 

Things are simple when you know how :laugh:

No problem :) it's also good to know the blank name works too.

Unticking the "Playable" is the correct way to go, but... There is a game glitch that can happen and if the item has a name it can still appear in the inventory, it rarely happens but it does.

An example of this is with the unused by the game "Spriggan Shield", it was not developed but it is in game, over the years a lot of players have found a 'Spriggan Shield', it does not have a mesh and it's just a node but the item has a name "Spriggan Shield" and it's not playable, but it still shows up in game in rear circumstances.

It has happened to me 4-5 times over the years with items not playable.

The weirdness of this game...

Ah... good to know :geek:

 

I had removed the name as you suggested and had tested that...

then the advice to uncheck the 'Playable'

so my items has both no name and not playable... so I guess I'm covered :thumbsup:

 

I have to say I'm feeling a little left out now... I've never even heard of let alone found a 'Spriggan Shield' :blush:
