Script/Race Help

[DhaKurs]

Hey everybody!

I just started working on a mod and I need some help.

In the mod I would like to change the player's current race to a predefined custom race when they activate a shrine. With that said I've spent the last 3 days surfing the web and have yet to find a working way to implement this via scripting/quests. If a direct switch cannot be made from one race to another with a script, would it be possible to temporarily hide all but the custom race from the "ShowRaceMenu" so that the player can only pick the custom race?

 

Any help on this is most appreciated.

wild guess, but there is a race changing script by cross1492, maybe you can find something useful in it, cut some things out and adapt it to your needs: http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/43216

I feel your pain DhaKurs because I've been looking for something like that myself. I don't think it can be done via regular modding but an advanced modder maybe could pull something like that off. I'm using Scanti's race disabler and it has functions which can't be done normally (unless I'm missing something here).

Thanks for the replies guys.

This would work but the player could choose any race not just the custom race... I'll play around with it and see if I can jerry-rig something from it that might work.

 

Anybody know how to "hide" a race from the race menu?

I know :D In tes4Edit you must change flag playable from 1 to 0. Just load plugin with race to hide, go to race records and change flag (exist only in playable races) to 0.
