Hi.

I created a script to unequip npc's items :

void UnEquip(int iSlot,object oNpc )
{
object oItem = GetItemInSlot( iSlot, oNpc);
AssignCommand(oNpc, ActionUnequipItem(oItem));
}

void main()
{

object oNpc = GetObjectByTag(GetScriptStringParameter());

UnEquip( INVENTORY_SLOT_HEAD, oNpc);
UnEquip( INVENTORY_SLOT_BODY, oNpc);
UnEquip( INVENTORY_SLOT_HANDS, oNpc);
UnEquip( INVENTORY_SLOT_RIGHTWEAPON, oNpc);
UnEquip( INVENTORY_SLOT_LEFTWEAPON, oNpc);
UnEquip( INVENTORY_SLOT_LEFTARM, oNpc);
UnEquip( INVENTORY_SLOT_RIGHTARM, oNpc);
UnEquip( INVENTORY_SLOT_IMPLANT, oNpc);
UnEquip( INVENTORY_SLOT_BELT, oNpc);
UnEquip( INVENTORY_SLOT_RIGHTWEAPON2, oNpc);
UnEquip( INVENTORY_SLOT_LEFTWEAPON2, oNpc);
}

This script is attached to an end node (in a dlg file) and is supposed to unequip all the items of the Npc I was talking to.

But it doesn't work. In fact, items remain equipped. But if I click on the npc and make him the new party leader, all his items are unequipped.

Any idea ?

Might be that the game does something with characters when exiting dialog mode. You could try delaying the unequipping a little and clear their action queue and see if that makes a difference. Like:


void UnEquip();
int GetNextEquipSlot(int iCurrent);


// ST: Main function
void main() {
object oNPC = GetObjectByTag( GetScriptStringParameter() );
DelayCommand(1.0, AssignCommand(oNPC, UnEquip()));
}


// ST: Support function - unequip everything in all non-monster item slots
void UnEquip() {
int i;

ClearAllActions();

for (i = INVENTORY_SLOT_HEAD; i <= INVENTORY_SLOT_LEFTWEAPON2; i = GetNextEquipSlot(i)) {
if (GetIsObjectValid(GetItemInSlot(i))) {
ActionUnequipItem( GetItemInSlot(i), TRUE);
}
}
}


// ST: Utility function - get the next non-monster item slot in sequence
int GetNextEquipSlot(int iCurrent) {
switch (iCurrent) {
case INVENTORY_SLOT_HEAD : return INVENTORY_SLOT_BODY;
case INVENTORY_SLOT_BODY : return INVENTORY_SLOT_HANDS;
case INVENTORY_SLOT_HANDS : return INVENTORY_SLOT_RIGHTWEAPON;
case INVENTORY_SLOT_RIGHTWEAPON : return INVENTORY_SLOT_LEFTWEAPON;
case INVENTORY_SLOT_LEFTWEAPON : return INVENTORY_SLOT_LEFTARM;
case INVENTORY_SLOT_LEFTARM : return INVENTORY_SLOT_RIGHTARM;
case INVENTORY_SLOT_RIGHTARM : return INVENTORY_SLOT_IMPLANT;
case INVENTORY_SLOT_IMPLANT : return INVENTORY_SLOT_BELT;
case INVENTORY_SLOT_BELT : return INVENTORY_SLOT_RIGHTWEAPON2;
case INVENTORY_SLOT_RIGHTWEAPON2: return INVENTORY_SLOT_LEFTWEAPON2;
case INVENTORY_SLOT_LEFTWEAPON2 : return 999;
}
return 999;
}

Thanks for your answer.

I usually tried to delay the command. It was my first idea. I thought that the dialog had to be over for the unequip command to works.
Unfortunately, this didn't work. I already have to click on the npc for him to be unequipped.

I know there is a way. When you fight with Handmaiden in the Ebon Hawk, all her items are unequipped without you taking her control.
I tryed Dencs to decompile the script that seems to unequip her but it failed.

You mean this script, or another?

}

Thanks. This is the script I had in mind.

I'll try to understand it.

Looks like they unequip items using the GiveItem() function to give the equipped item to the character who already possess it .

Precisely.

The GiveItem command is to put an specific object into pc's inventory. When this specific object is equipped, the only way is to unequip it. And the game does.
I modified my first script :

void UnEquip(int iSlot,object oNpc )
{
object oItem = GetItemInSlot( iSlot, oNpc);
//AssignCommand(oNpc, ActionUnequipItem(oItem)); Previous command
GiveItem( oItem, GetFirstPC() ); // New one
}

It now works as intended.

Thanks a lot for your help.
