Is there a way to control what armor variation gets equipped?

[dagobaking]

I am trying to copy the worn items of one actor and equip them on another so that they look exactly the same.

 

The problem I am having is that many armors have variations that seem to randomize automatically.

 

Is there a way to override that randomization and control which variations appear when the item is equipped?

 

Here is the function I am using currently:

Function copyClothes(Actor a, Actor b)
int i = clothes_scan_startslot
While i < (clothes_scan_endslot + 1)
Form clothesItem = a.GetWornItem(i).Item
b.EquipItem(clothesItem, false, true)
i = i + 1
EndWhile
EndFunction

If your "variation" means "heavy/medium/light", it may be ObjectMod.

In that case, GetWornItemMods will help.

 

Not tested but code will be like this:

Function copyClothes(Actor a, Actor b)
  int i = clothes_scan_startslot
  While i < (clothes_scan_endslot + 1)
    Form clothesItem = a.GetWornItem(i).Item
    b.RemoveItem(clothesItem, -1, true, container_tmp)
    b.addItem(clothesItem)
    ObjectMod[] mods = a.GetWornItemMods(i)
    int j = 0
    While j < mods.length
      b.AttachModToInventoryItem(clothesItem, mods[j])
      j = j + 1
    EndWhile
    b.EquipItem(clothesItem, false, true)
    container_tmp.RemoveItem(clothesItem, -1, true, b)
    i = i + 1
  EndWhile
EndFunction

Thank you akiras404. This sounds promising. I will give it a shot tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

    container_tmp.RemoveItem(clothesItem, -1, true, b)
    i = i + 1
  EndWhile
EndFunction

 

What is the best way to set up the "container_tmp"?

 

Is there an existing container that is commonly used for this kind of thing? If possible, I would prefer not to add things to the world.

You can always create a specific outfit with the exact armor bits included... Just make sure the outfit covers the exact bpdy parts the original outfit covers, otherwise it will crash the CK...

That's a very good solution for an individual play-through. But, I'm hoping for a solution that automates it via code for everyone.

 

I think that the above code could work. But, I'm a little unsure what the best way to set up the temp container is. I've seen that kind of thing discussed for other mods before. But, haven't set it up myself.
