Disable inventory while in combat

[Genomi]

Hi, I'd like a mod to disable the inventory (tab) when in combat and re-enable it once out of combat, like how the "you cannot wait while in combat!" is. I hate how you can pause the game and change your armor and stuff right in front of an enemy (pretty unrealistic), so I'd like that disabled! Unless there's a better way to disable changing clothes/armor during combat which would be just as good to me. :) I use the "cannot wear broken armor" mod which unequips armor once it breaks, and it sucks that I can just press tab when 921859 goblins are whacking me and change into another top no problem.

This is possible. I think I could make it for you. I'll let you know when it's complete.

I was planning the mod and I'd like some more detailed explanation of what you'd want to happen.

 

Do you want the inventory to close if you try to look? If you do it this way, note that you won't be able to look at other stuff in your inventory, like scrolls, potions, etc. Also, you'll still be able to switch out weapons and armor if you have them hotkeyed.

 

Also, Oblivion doesn't really do a good job determining whether or not you're "in combat." For example, you might aggro a bad guy that's in a place where it is impossible for them to hurt you, but you'd still be considered in combat. Do you want to try and implement a better combat detection system?

Hmm I know what you mean by the combat thing. I've ran like across the world away from an enemy and it still thought I was in combat with it. With that in mind I suppose if that happened, I wouldn't be able to look at my map at perfectly safe times and that'd get annoying quick. I don't hotkey my potions either, so I rely on my inventory for those 1hp saves.

 

What I want is the inability to change my armor/clothes in combat, or a penalty for doing it. I use the "cannot wear broken armor" mod, and when your armor breaks, it unequips and refuses to equip until you repair it above 0. So once an enemy breaks my armor, it's like OMGI'MEXPOSED, and then I can just press tab/hotkey and put on something else right in front of them no problem - lameee.

 

Hmm unless you can make animations and freeze the player for putting new clothes/armor on (that would be awesome!)... the best I can think of is maybe have it where it checks and remembers your current equipment every second in combat, and if you attempt to change it, it changes it back if you're still in combat. I think this should stop from being able to hotkey etc equipment too. Oh, and if the animation thing is possible, a way to cancel it midway would be nice too just in case someone walked around the corner or something and you needed to hide quickly (you don't want them to see you changing).
