About two years ago, I coded ally/enemy detection based on some stuff. Including who the target is, their disposition towards player, who they are fighting against, and whether their enemy poses threat to the player or not. This allows - for example - a spell to hit only potential enemy, and not friendlies or vice versa

I also coded a basic... "framework"? To switch to a whole set of equipments, and still remember the last set of equipment before switching, allowing - for example - easier transition between adventuring and coming home. With just a few steps you can don your favorite armor, switch between sets of armors if need be, and with just a click you can remove all of 'em and go back to your clothing before switching

It's highly unlikely for me to go back to Oblivion and finish my work, so I'd like to share my 2 year old logic

Anyone here already made 'em? Or want to have 'em? Don't wanna go around claiming I made 'em and someone beat me to it.

There are a few mods that do the outfit switching, I use Enhanced Hotkeys, but I'd bet your implementation is different.

Not sure about the first one.

Never heard about Enhanced Hotkeys. 9 hotkeys was quite enough for me. But I guess since this will be modder's resource, the whole point of "Who made it first" is pretty moot. So I'll just go ahead. I think I'll release these over at TES Nexus too

Note that these are best viewed in Notepad++ or TESCS Script Editor window. Primarily because I use apostrophe in the documentation for proper English, but the forum regards it as a starting point for a String

These codes requires OBSE 0017 or greater (perhaps 0018 or greater, I forgot)
You may have to study these codes a bit, but they are well documented


Ally/Enemy Detection

This is my take on detecting allies and enemies. This logic implements the "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" system, and additionally detects whether an actor is potential threat or not. So "The enemy of my enemy is my friend so long as he won't backstab me after this"

This particular piece of code is an example where I heal only potential allies and deal damage only to potential enemies, allowing players to cast spells without worry of friendly fire. This code can be executed both in and outside of combat to provide benefits, and this code has to target an actor

Armor Set Switching

This is my take in switching sets of armor. The code remembers the last "normal" set of outfits that you wear, and allows you to switch to a full set of armor in one go, even allowing you to switch between sets of armor and you'll still be able to revert to your "normal" outfit. The armor set that you switch into cannot be unequipped. You have to revert back before unequipping anything

Note that "normal" here means "pieces of armor that you wear before switching to any armor set defined by the code.


This is the part that defines the "armor set". In this case, I have a set of armor I nicknamed "Dendrobium", which consists of 8 pieces of equipments

Lastly, you'll need to define an empty Script which serves as an independent container:
