How to hide an item in actors inventory from the player?

Post » Tue Nov 20, 2012 11:32 am

Topic says it all. I've been ignoring this little minor issue for a long time. Perhaps now I could finally fix it. I have an item that drops on death of an NPC to set off a script. The problem is the player can then see this item and pick it up. If there is no way to hide it, can I at least make it un-lootable?

If it does not have a name, it will not be visible. At least it is true for armors but I guess it is for every item.

Why not just respond to the death of the NPC using a script attached to an alias for that NPC in a quest?
