Mod:Creation Kit/Armor

Papyrus: Armor Script

An Armor form is an item that characters can equip and wear. Armor forms contain data for the item's gameplay effects and for the way it looks when dropped in the game world; Armors refer to ArmorAddons to define how the armor looks on a character model when it's actually being worn. A single Armor can refer to multiple ArmorAddons, to cover multiple body parts (like the Helmeted Cage Armor) or to make the armor available to multiple species with different body plans (like the Welding Goggles).
