Limiting armor types by race?
« on: June 15, 2009, 10:17:25 pm »

I'm trying to create a new type of race, that has unique physiology. Is there any way to limit their armor choices to a new type, to reflect that their armor is different than standard armor? Also, no other race would be able to wear it?

Not really; making them a different size from any other race should restrict the armor in that way, but it'll still be called a "large" armor or whatnot to the other races.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

yes, you can. Make them a unique size so that noone else can don the armour, and then create a new armour type in the armour matgloss, and make sure it is the only armour they can use, in the entity raw.

you can also choose their armor in the entity thing, but of course if someone is same size you could possible get in adventurer mode to equip this armor with the other race, in dwarf mode or npcs you will never see the items swapped around, except of course they invade you with same size.

ps: armor size includes the narrow tag for me :p
