Armor won't unequip

[Trooper0311]

I am attempting to make a body addon for my armor (a chest rig that goes overtop the armor). When the chest rig is equipped, then unequipped, the chest rig will remain on the body of the character. How can I fix this?

I have previously made armor addons and had no issue, so I am stumped. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Does the game say that youre still wearing it even though its unequipped?

 

When you equip it initially do you use a script? And if so do you use something along the lines of player.equipItem?

No. In the Pip-boy I will have no armor equipped, however visually it remains equipped.

 

And no script is used. I've tried picking it up from inside a container, and from dragging and dropping.

I know this is a bit old but I have the solution to this problem.

After searching everywhere for the solution myself, I have been unable to find any information on it or why it happens.

To fix this issue:

- Open the nif in nifskope

- Select the NiTriShape block

- Expand the Material Data category in the block details

- Change the value of "Active Material" from -1 to 0
- Repeat for all NiTriShape that have this set to -1

I have no idea what Active Material is doing or why it gets set to -1 sometimes on export, even after searching everywhere.

If anyone has more info on this I'd appreciate it.
