[Mod Request] Hide Power Armor helmet when out of combat

[shander01]

Hey Guys,

 

For starters, I'm not sure if this is possible to implement before the G.E.C.K. comes out. If it isn't, please let me know.

 

I would love that my character would unequip the Power Armor helmet when not in combat and put it back on, when the combat starts.

 

CONDITIONS

(for the script to be active)

• Player Character equipped with the Power Armor frame
• Power Armor helmet present in the inventory
• Power Armor helmet not equipped in head slot

 

MANUAL OVERRIDE

(in case someone needs a bonus or requires full protection in certain scenarios)

• Player Character equipped with the Power Armor frame
• Power Armor helmet equipped in head slot

 

IDLE

(neither PC or Companion is engaged in combat)

• Player Character is not in combat
• Companion is not in combat
• Power Armor helmet is present in PC inventory
• 3-5 seconds delay (since the last combat) before script takes off the helmet

 

IN COMBAT

(PC and/or Companion is engaged in combat)

• Player Character AND/OR Companion is in combat
• Power Armor helmet is equipped immediately when the combat starts by the script

 

ADDITIONAL NOTES

• It would be perfect if scripted equip/unequip would preserve the items (glasses, mask, hat, etc.) equipped by Player Character when not using a Power Armor
• If more than one Power Armor helmet is present in the PC inventory, the script would choose the one with highest armor rating

 

----

 

Advanced optional features:

• When the character is not in combat and 3-5 seconds have passed an animation of PC taking off the helmet is visible in 3rd person view (a reversed animation of Danse putting on his helmet when going for a mission to Arc Jet Systems labs)
• The same script available for the Companions

----

 

I probably didn't took every possibility into account, so please feel free to implement according to your best judgement :smile:

 

Cheers!

personally id just like a open mouth/eyes area sota like hoe Samus in Metroid Prime has a transparent visor in cutscens but a opaque one in combat

I second this request to have a Hide Helmet for Power Armor, even in combat.

Thanks

maybe a version that hides it in dialogue?

You put a lot of thought into making a pretty or handsome character for yourself only to have it be obscured by some helmet which also impedes your field of vision. I think a mod that could furnish the protective benefits and abilities of a helmet, without the damn helmet would be great.

Hi, until there is a dedicated mod for this, two of my mods used together may be able to accomplish something similar to your request.

 

Outfit Switcher will let you create loadouts that can be hot-keyed. You'd have two loadouts, one with and one without your power armor helmet.

 

Visible Weapons will enable automatic equipping / unequipping of items when your weapon is drawn / holstered. You can link it to the loadout activator from Outfit Switcher.

 

The net result is when you draw your weapon (in combat), your helmet is automatically equipped, and when you holster your weapon (out of combat), your helmet will be unequipped.

and if the players manually puts the helmet it on it needs to have the animation that Paladin Danse has when he puts his helmet on.
