Equipping Natural Equipment on PCs And Locking It on Them

Hello,

I am looking into equipping PCs with Natural Equipment(claws, Bites, Skin) via scripting and also locking the items on them until X condition is meant(Meaning it cannot be removed). Specifically its being attempted for Lycanthropes to give them DR piercing claws.

Thanks in advance!

    If you have the PC shift then you can specify the claws, bite and hide in polymorph.2da. The first 3 lines are set for lycanthrope shapes already. While shifted, shapes cannot change their claws/weapons.

    I don't know how you'd do the bite without shifting. The claws you could simulate with monk gloves, but they could be removed by the player.

    We use Appearance change instead of polymorph so we can allow Lycanthrope PCs to use items and cast spells, so sadly thats not an option.

    CreateItemOnObject then ActionEquipItem works for the skin, so worth trying the creature weapon slots, too.

    The nice thing is that the PC cannot remove anything from those slots - removal by script when the condition is met is the only way.

    Not sure whether the appearance change needs to occur before or after - worth trying.

    I glean that this is for a PW so there might be persistence issues which are beyond my experience - though if I read past comments right, you just need to ensure that your scripts don't unequip those slots.

    Worked like a charm @Proleric thank you!
    I would also like to give insights from my own experience that ActionTakeItem does not work well to strip them and the best and only way should be DestroyObject(GetItemInSlot());

    Yes, sadly, I believe DestroyObject is necessary to strip items.

    If you need to store the items in a chest for later use (on release from jail, for example) use CopyItem first, with the copy variables parameter set to TRUE.
