Paralyzing a NPC via script ? : V - Skyrim

Yup, seems something is missing with the removeallitems function. If i don't take an item in their inventory, they respawn nvde.

They have their items, they just don't bother to re-dress themselves until they are reset (Remember, you are taking all their stuff away for a moment then giving it back)

When he gets revived, try doing a reset() on him and see if that makes him put his clothes back on without respawning his entire inventory?

Hmm nope, reset didn't seems to change a thing.

edit : nope, doesn't seems to work after some tests

Try pickpocketing him and his clothes should be there, just not being worn. maybe there's a way to go through his inventory and do an EquipItem on everything?

Indeed, his clothes are there, but like you said, unequipped, that's why he respawn nvde.

You know how if your follower is wearing his default outfit, you can add an item to his inventory to cause him to put on his best items? After you resurrect the NPC, try adding something (eg an iron dagger) to the NPC and then removing it.

Tried, sadly done nothing.

Couple of ideas to redress the stumbler - I thought the stumbling was cool btw

1/ Looping through a formlist of everything. See http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1357739-actor-equipitem-not-applying-armor-enchantments/page__view__findpost__p__20513233's post in this thread.

2/ Build the clothes formlist as they are removed from the NPC. So mod-added clothing could be detected.
You can't loop through the inventory directly, but as you are moving them to a custom container then you can put a script into the container to catch http://www.creationkit.com/OnItemAdded_-_ObjectReference() Events.

Something like...

Spoiler

Scriptname SavedItemsBoxScript extends ObjectReferenceFormlist Property myNewEmptyFL AutoEvent OnItemAdded(Form akBaseItem, int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)  RegisterForSingleUpdate(2)  If (akBaseItem As Armor) ; All clothing is Armor right?    myNewEmptyFL.AddForm(akBaseItem)  EndIfEndEventEvent OnUpdate()  ; It's been 2 seconds since the last added itemEndEvent

The pain with this though is the threading, and that multiple NPC's could be knocked out together.

The events on the container would start to populate the formlist while your main script is waiting for Resurrect.
You may be able to use the 2 second thing to set a state on the container that events have finished.

Umm, I give up. I think it would break too easily.
It will be far easier to wait for SKSE and do an inventory loop directly

Well you could make the Formlist global...once it determines an item is clothing, it shouldn't have to check again, just do a check on whether it's already in there first before adding it, and have it initially load a CK-made formlist of existing clothing types.

Of course! I couldn't see the wood for the trees.
The check isn't even needed either as AddForm refuses to add Dupes.

Dang, then I'll have to rethink my ScavangerHunt Script I was working on...it was going to use a Formlist that had a number of entries for an item equal to the number of items needed...guess I'll have to set up an array of integers for the counts...
