- Permissions and credits
IMPORTANT; I NEED YOUR OPINIONS!: ok, I am having trouble getting the actor to stop reacting to being attacked while down. now, there are settings I can use to make the actor not react to combat, but prevent looting and taking any damage... so, which would you prefer, looting, but attack reactions, or no looting and no reactions? leave me a comment to let me know.
UPDATE: I have updated the scripts so that after the actor falls to the floor, their AI is disabled. This means that there is no option to talk to them, and they do not seem to respond at all. Other characters should still react appropriately if they see you though. There may be a problem with crime alerts if you attack them, there have been a couple of times when I attacked the sleeping person, and almost immediately had guards there. Let me know if you experience this, and I can try to fix it. since it's in testing, the cloth and potion are both cheap and available at the Three Brothers Trade goods place in the IC just until I'm done tweaking the items themselves, then they will be moved to a better location and their prices increased.
I found that I usually played a thief/assassin type character, and wanted something that would knock someone out besides paralysis. I also thought the idea of reverse pickpocketing was pretty cool, sooo... put the two together, and you get a cloth, that when soaked with sleep potion and reverse pickpocketed onto an NPC will knock them out for 45 seconds!!!
INSTALLATION: all you have to do is put the '.esp' in your 'oblivion\data\' folder and then enable it in the 'Data Files' option in the splash screen, or use Oblivion Mod Manager for the same effect.
GETTING THE ITEM IN GAME: right now, since it's in testing, go to Three Brothers Trade Goods in the IC. There are two items you will need to buy. You will need the Sleeping Cloth itself (base value 1000, but will cost more depending on your mercantile skill) and any number of Sleep Potions (base value 225, again, actual cost depends on mercantile skill). Once you have both, just 'drink' the Sleep Potion to activate it, and it will 'soak' the cloth in the potion.
Now you are all set! Reverse Pickpocket it, and the NPC will drop to the ground and pass out for 45 seconds! NOTE: I found that when you take the cloth back, it shows as stolen, so it is scripted to automatically return to your inventory to circumvent this. No need to pickpocket it back! You will then need to apply another potion for the cloth to work again. The potions were necessary, I found in making the mod that just having the rag itself without a limiting factor was very unbalancing since you could just go around knocking people out and easily stealing all their goods. This way, you have to be making money to buy the potions.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, leave comments about what you think or suggestions for improvement!
