OnAnimationEvent & UnequipItem question : V

» Wed Apr 17, 2013 10:39 pm

I made a little script that checks if I gave the Dawnguard Full Helmet to Jordis and makes sure she only equipes it when she draws her weapon:

Event OnMenuClose (String menuName)if Rayg_JordisHired  If menuName == "Dialogue Menu"   String sActorName = (GetReference() As Actor).GetBaseObject().GetName()   if sActorName == "Jordis the Sword-Maiden"	if ((GetReference() As Actor).GetItemCount(DLC1ArmorDawnguardHelmetHeavy) == 1)  	 if (!(GetReference() As Actor).IsWeaponDrawn())	  (GetReference() As Actor).UnequipItem(DLC1ArmorDawnguardHelmetHeavy, true)	 Endif	 RegisterForAnimationEvent(GetActorReference(), "weaponDraw")	 RegisterForAnimationEvent(GetActorReference(), "weaponSheathe")	 bHasHelmet = true	 Debug.Notification("Follower Has Helmet")	Elseif  ((GetReference() As Actor).GetItemCount(DLC1ArmorDawnguardHelmetHeavy) == 0)	 if bHasHelmet	  UnregisterForAnimationEvent(GetActorReference(), "weaponDraw")	  UnregisterForAnimationEvent(GetActorReference(), "weaponSheathe")	  bHasHelmet = false	  Debug.Notification("Follower no longer has Helmet")	 Endif	Endif   EndIf  EndIfEndifEndEventEvent OnAnimationEvent(ObjectReference akSource, string asEventName)if asEventName == "weaponDraw"  (GetReference() As Actor).EquipItem(DLC1ArmorDawnguardHelmetHeavy, false, true)  Debug.Notification("Follower draws weapon")elseif asEventName == "weaponSheathe"  (GetReference() As Actor).UnequipItem(DLC1ArmorDawnguardHelmetHeavy, true)    Debug.Notification("Follower sheaths weapon")endifEndEvent

With this when I give Jordis the helmet, she promptly unequips it when we leave dialogue, puts it on when she draws her weapon and unequips it again when she sheaths her weapon. So far so good. But when we go past loading screen, two things happen:
First she puts on the helmet again like normal. And secondly, OnAnimationEvent stops firing.

If I put an OnLoad event that rechecks thing and unequips and reregisters as needed like this:

Spoiler

Event OnLoad()if ((GetReference() As Actor).GetItemCount(DLC1ArmorDawnguardHelmetHeavy) == 1)    RegisterForAnimationEvent(GetActorReference(), "weaponDraw")  RegisterForAnimationEvent(GetActorReference(), "weaponSheathe")  bHasHelmet = true  if (!(GetReference() As Actor).IsWeaponDrawn())   (GetReference() As Actor).UnequipItem(DLC1ArmorDawnguardHelmetHeavy, true)  EndifElseif  ((GetReference() As Actor).GetItemCount(DLC1ArmorDawnguardHelmetHeavy) == 0)  if bHasHelmet     UnregisterForAnimationEvent(GetActorReference(), "weaponDraw")   UnregisterForAnimationEvent(GetActorReference(), "weaponSheathe")  EndifEndif  Debug.Notification("Follower Loaded")endEvent

Then the script works as intended and continues to work past loading screen.

Okay, so here are my two question:
Is abPreventEquip in UnequipItem broken, or just doesn't work on NPCs? I flagged it as true, but Jordis cheerfully ignores that and equips the helmet anyway when she rechecks her inventory.
As for OnAnimationEvent: Is it intended behaviour for that to stop working (automatically unregister itself or something) after a loading screen? If no, what did I do wrong?
