I'm trying to write a script that on initiation (it is a spell) equips a helmet onto the player, and then, after a short time, re-equips the helmet the player was wearing before-hand.

I can't figure out how to store the player's equipped helmet in the property so that it can be referenced again so that it can be re-equipped. I've tried using "onobjectequipped" and within that function, setting helmproperty = akBaseObject as Armor (ignoring the issues of other armor slots being equipped for now), but this does not work, the property remains as "NONE" (or so I think). The original helmet is not re-equipped in game.

I've also tried using an armor variable instead, but the issue is the same.

Can this be done?

Could you show the script? (Post it)

Have you tried using http://www.creationkit.com/GetWornForm_-_Actor to obtain the currently worn helmet before you replace it with your new helmet?

Worked like a charm, thanks you two!
