Howto equip shoes with hdt highheels effects on NPCs in scripts

[zaira]

If I simply do myNPCactor.EquipItem(...) the heel effect wont start.

The HDT heels effect is not an enchantment so I also have problems to detect whether a shoe needs additional handling.

It should be a scripted enchantment on the shoes I think. I haven't made any myself but that's what I've seen. As for enchantments not being applied on item equip from scripts, did you try with actor.EquipiItemEx()?

no, currently I have overridden OnObjectEquipped, check for feet slotmask and then use form name to detect which of the most common hdt heels was equipped and add the propper spell. What a hack!

In my wip mod the player can equip a complete outfit and define it as the default for a NPC follower - and then - in later stages the NPC wears this outfit. Works so far but the hdtHighheel script wont be notified for NPCs. Maybe I should better patch hdtHighheels itself?
