Getting characters to unequip items

[zymurgy65]

Is there a way to have characters unequip items other than armour or weapons while a particular AI package is running? I'm guessing it requires a script, but I'm not very confident when it comes to scripting.

Which game is this for?

Guessing from your favourite it's for Oblivion, right? In that case for returning exact AI package you can use OBSE, precisely GetCurrentPackage/GetCurrentEditorPackage. 

In vanilla you can use GetIsCurrentPackage function.

Also it's good to check if your NPC is actually doing the action you want using GetCurrentAIProcedure. Maybe it will be enough using this function alone, if such precission isn't needed.

For Oblivion, I would personally use the "OnPackageStart" block in the script attached to the NPC in question. You can specify the exact package with that block. See Wiki here.

There's also "OnPackageEnd" block where you can re-equip those items again.
