📋 About This Mod

Armour will now be unequipped when Condition reaches 0, just as Weapons already are. Can also prevent Broken Armour from being re-equipped. Runs on Player and NPCs. Simple, Lightweight and Efficient.

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.
