-- DESTROY EQUIPED AND INVENTORY PLOT ITEMS ONLY / RID US OF THE LAMENESS OF SUPER CHARACTERS

I can't believe no one posted this script yet.
Mad props to Forgotten Soul for the code to destroy inventory plot items.

I'm not much of a 'scripter' so if you want to edit or make it more efficient; feel free. Just give credit where it is due. If you do make it better POST IT here, please!

What it does: You may or may not know that PLOT items can be used to make hacked/toolset/twinkted/cheat/level 61/uber (whatever u call it) weapons, armor, and items. This greatly compromises the gameplay of your module, allowing twinkies (uber) characters to come in and pummel everone else. Well no longer, this script will go through a player's equiped items and inventory and look for any plot items; send a message to the player, then destroy the items. If they have no plot items, it does nothing. Oh yeah, this also means NO INFINITE TIMESTOPPING/SPELLCASTING!! YEA!

At last we can play mods with our own local characters and not have to deal with any super cheated players. Anyways, heres the script. Put it in the MODULE'S ON CLIENT ENTER:

If they don't cheat then they have nothing to worry about.

.. code deleted
Unfortunetly, if a plot item is required for specific module; it also will be destroyed when the player re-enters. Stick with vaulted chars

Here is my enhancement. It allows for plot items that start with a particular keyword to pass the function of destruction. Its pretty easy to alter it to whatever you want. (Also if the keyword is left as default ("") then all plot items are destroyed)

NWScript:

//::///////////////////////////////////////////////
//:: Name destoryPlotItems
//:: Copyright (c) 2001 Bioware Corp.
//:://////////////////////////////////////////////
/*
  Description:
   This function destroys all of the objects passed
   that are plot items and that do not start with
   the key word defined in var "sPlotItemTagStartingKeyword"
   Change "sPlotItemTagStartingKeyword" to whatever keyword
   you wish to start your plot items with. If left blank ""
   all items defined as plot items will be destroyed.
