Making weapon ammo into a cosmetic item?

[Stokes52]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to figure out how to turn, say, an arrow quiver, into a non-functional equipable cosmetic item. IE: I want to be able to equip something that looks like a bag of arrows, but is actually just a static mesh, like some mods do with capes or bags.

 

Specifically I want to make the "throwing knife ammo" model from the Throwing Knife WIP mod and make it equipable on my character without it actually functioning as ammo or taking up the ammo slot.

 

If I could get some guidance on doing this with regular arrows, I imagine I could probably figure out how to do it with the throwing knife ammo.

 

Thanks in advance.

Armor is never static, it's rigged to be animated even if it never moves. There's a large difference in difficulty between static an rigged. From what I gather you would be wise to stay away from it. Instead set the weapon to use zero ammo, or an ammo type that doesn't involve the arrows. That could be as simple as creating a duplicate of the form in the mod that gave you the idea or editing it directly. However in the past the SDK was always limited to what was allowed to be done. The past communities have all developed full text editors which will do things the SDK won't. I haven't checked recently because I got tired of checking, but Skyrim doesn't have a tool like that. Instead there are a few soft editors that will do this or that depending on the job that need to be done. Sometimes the SDK will even cause a problem when creating new content which is fixed by using a 3rd party heavy editor afterwards. I'm sure they'll get a heavy editor for Skyrim eventually but I also kind of figure that the game is so complex it makes it too difficult to do so as it became increasingly difficult in the past with each game.

I'd really like to know this too. I want the javelin quiver from the throwing weapons as an armour piece but don't know how to do that.
