UNEQUIP BROKEN GEAR
You're telling me this isn't in the base-game?
Deer Nexus Staff, Please fix your description editor. I'm tired.
In-Game Example. Gloves are Broken, and Unequipped.
-
[]Simple Lightweight Function using xOBSE Event Handlers. Namely an "OnHit" event being the trigger.[/]
[]Configurable. Can run on NPCs, the Player or Both.[/]
[]Optional Integration for Smart Outfits: When Gear Breaks, the item can be replaced with clothing from the Player's previously Equipped Outfit or Sleepwear to allude to clothing being worn underneath the character's armour.[/]
[]Optional Durability Warning when any equipped item reaches Critical Condition.[/]
[]Text config file for easy language translation.[/]
Broken Item Blocking when Equipped from the Inventory
-
[]There is also a setting to prevent Broken Armour from being Equipped.[/]
[]Optionally, Gear can also be Completely Destroyed when it Breaks. You'll lose the item forever (Unless it's a Quest Item).[/]
[]These changes offer an Indirect Buff to both the Armourer Skill, and Disintegrate Armour Effects.[/]
Mod Authors:
UBG is now registered as a listener for a User Event which may be called from scripts. This allows a script to call UBG's equipment check without making UBG an .esp requirement. To call this event, you will need to include the following in your scripts:
if (IsModLoaded "DFTG_UnequipBrokenGear.esp")
DispatchEvent "UBG:CheckGear" (ar_map "Target"::PlayerRef)
Any valid NPC Reference (Not Base Object) may be used in place of "PlayerRef" to run the check on the targeted NPC.
