I have been trying most of the day to clear the ownership of items in the players or containers inventory.
Nothing works, even though the function says it 'does'.

My latest attempt was to use 'removeAllItems'. Even though the WIKI says it will remove ownership information, it does not.
RemoveAllItems(ObjectReference akTransferTo = None, bool abKeepOwnership = false, bool abRemoveQuestItems = false)
http://www.creationkit.com/RemoveAllItems_-_ObjectReference

Does anyone have a way to clear the ownership of items?


I remove all the players items to a chest, and then move them back. That works fine, but the items still say they are 'stolen'.

 Scriptname LevelersOwnershipScript extends ObjectReference {Clear ownership from inventory}objectReference property objSelf auto hiddenObjectReference Property LevelersContheftREF  Auto Message Property LevelersAutoSortMSG  Auto event onCellAttach()  objSelf = self as objectReference  playAnimation("Open")endEventEvent OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)  If akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer()    PlayAnimation("Trigger01")    Game.GetPlayer().RemoveAllItems(LevelersContheftREF, false, true)    Utility.Wait(0.2)    LevelersContheftREF.RemoveAllItems(Game.GetPlayer(), false, true)    LevelersAutoSortMSG.Show()  endifendEvent

Use http://www.creationkit.com/SetActorOwner_-_ObjectReference, pass none if you don't want any owner, or pass a specific one.

SetActorOwner only works on individual items. Not container entries. This command was my first attempt at clearing ownership of inventory.
I tried setting the container to the player but it did not change the contents of the container.

I suspect I will need to loop through inventory of something, changing each item. But I am not sure how to do that. Any pointers?

Try changing

Game.GetPlayer().RemoveAllItems(LevelersContheftREF, false, true) 

to

Game.GetPlayer().RemoveAllItems(LevelersContheftREF, true, true) 

I can't tell you why this works (and it might not even work in your case). The logic for determining ownership of things is hopelessly screwed though (cf the companion loot bug). What it says it does in the Wiki is not what it does.

I had tried both false and true, but I will try it again. You never know what might happen?!!

EDIT:
Yeah, same result whether its true or false, it does not clear ownership.

I came up with a 'work around' for cleaning the items in a formlist of their ownership. It has its drawbacks as it will only work on 'unchanged' items. Because I 'remove' the item, and then 'add' the form to the chest. So in essence, its a 'new' item, not the item that was in your inventory.
But in this case, its okay. I only want this to work on vanilla items.
