I'm making a small Mod (for myself) that uses CloneForm to add an item to NPCs on Death-- it's meant to be their Skull, complete with their Name. What I'd like to do, is make it so that when you take this item, the NPC's Head disappears. I KNOW you can Equip Items after Death, as I have done it before-- but nothing I do is working.

I do not believe I can check for the Skull's ID, since it is a Clone, and I assume has it's own ID that is different from the Base-- so I have been trying to Script it from the Skull, using Get Container Checks.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Done the NPC get cloned and then dies? Or dies and then cloned?

Just throwing ideas in the air here...

I know it's possible to add a Death Item to an NPC in the CS. Another way might be to disable the clone and replace it with specially prepared dead body.

For the missing head, just make it equip a non-playable helmet with an invisible texture.

The function CloneForm returns the base object reference. So you can capture it with set rMySkull to CloneForm Skull

Thanks for the suggestions It won't be until to-morrow I get to check them out, but hopefully they'll help
