Is it possible to prevent a humanoid race from wearing boots? Like the Beast-race limitations, expect that I want the race to still be able to wear helmets. I'm working on some personal edits to Westly's Halfling mod (Again, personal only), which is why I'm asking.

I'm sure there's a way to auto-equip a pair of "shoes" using scripting. But I'm not to familiar with scripting to offer much help.

Using Tribunal functions, you could stop the player from equipping boots if he's of a certain race.

^
That sounds about right. How do I go upon doing that? Sorry, but I'm a big newb when it comes to scripting.

Anyone? Sorry about bumping.

It's probably http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes3Mod:GetArmorType he was suggesting. It probably doesn't work for clothing-type shoes, as it has only 1 return type for unarmored.

if ( player-> getarmortype, 5 >= 0 ) ;player is wearing armor boots
;insert code here to temporarily add shoes, force equip, then delete shoes

An altenative might be to have a dummy item script-equipped to the foot slot, maybe called "hairry feet" if it's a hobbit-race you're making. You'd need code to check if it is equipped, and whether it is still in the inventory.

Thanks I'm awful with scripting, so I guess I'll need to read some tutorials on it.

Pick any old shoe item.

"player"->AddItem "shoe item" 1"player"->Equip "shoe item" 1"player"->RemoveItem "shoe item" 1

Run that in an if-block or something, and it's all you need. The add and remove in a single frame limit encumbrance issues and prevent the player from removing the item (and farming shoes).

Alright. Do I attach this to a shoe? How do I set to to run for only one race?

I don't remember the command to check race, but I'd make it a global script. If you have Tribunal, set it as a startscript. Just use this (it's a pretty well optimized inventory-management bit I came up with a while back):

short inMenusif ( MenuMode )    Set inMenus To 1else    if ( inMenus == 1 )        ; do your handling        Set inMenus To 0    endifendif

Thanks! I'll update this message with the script.
EDIT: Alrighty, here's what I've written:

begin Halfing_Feetshort inMenusif ( MenuMode )    Set inMenus To 1else    if ( inMenus == 1 )        ; do your handling        Set inMenus To 0    endifendifif block"player"->AddItem "_Kro_HalflingFeet" 1"player"->Equip "_Kro_HalflingFeet" 1"player"->RemoveItem "_Kro_HalflingFeet" 1endifend Halfling_Feet

EDIT 2: Loading the script in the CS or Morrowind gives me a message saying that the script isn't compiled, and It turns up blank!

You proballly want your 'halflingfeet' if statment inside the invetory statement.(replacing the ':do your handling' comment)
IIRC playerrace is the variable but you had to have edited the start script to include your new race.
A more elegant solution if you are also having NPCs of this race is to just attach the script to an item and give it to all characters of that race.
