Making an object so that you can't take it from a chest.

[DwemerHunter]

Hi,

 

I'm looking for a way to make an object that cannot be removed from a chest. I want the player to be able to see it in the chest, but when they try to pick it up, a message comes up in the corner saying 'You cannot pick up this item.'

 

It's very similar in concept to how the player cannot remove a quest item from their inventory. Is there a way to make this apply so that the item cannot be removed from the chest's inventory?

 

Thanks!

Can't think of a way the game provides the option outright but you could possibly attach a script to detect when it's removed from the container, then remove it from the player's inventory, place it back in the container and show the "you cannot take this" message.

Not a bad idea actually, I'll give it a go! Cheers!
