Essentially, by Using this as a Module "OnItemAcquire" event, or merging it into the existing event, most items a PC picks up will be marked as "Non-Pickpocketable"
Updated: Credit to pulse cap, and _martigan_ , I used pulse's changes only as I dislike that IPGetIsMeleeWeapon() Will return anything between a Greatsword, and a dagger. A dagger, I can see a thief nabbing.

This fixes a glaring issue in most PW's. Highly reccomended for anyone starting or modifying/updating one. _________________________ __________________________________________________

This is the script I have been looking for! Being a scripting newb, though, how would I incorporate this into an existing hcr script?

Once more, I succumb to the fact that your scripting abilities are remarkable. But you are not talent without application - your foresight as to what scripts would enhance the game and bring forth new levels of playability is awe inspiring. Gold. Just ... Gold. (That said, I've never put Spot on any of my character.)

Is more along the right lines, and your correct, I forgot, or rather.. didn't realize when I first wrote this that bioware made it return as 3/10LBS not 3LBS. However, it doesn't return as 30LBS _________________________ Itinerant Admin: RPGModding.com - Where Modders Muster.

the weight part wont work! you forget that for some odd reason bioware made weight return in 10ths instead of returning a float.
therefore:
GetWeight(oItem)/10 >= 3
is what you want because a 3 pound item returns as 30 using the GetWeight function

@ xGallionx
Right now, its designed to be merged into the Module level On Acquire, without a check to specifically only effect PC's. However, changing that is easy enough, its all in the conditional statement

You have (pvp) in the title. Does that mean that this protects other PCs but thieves can still pick pocket whatever from NPCs with this script? Thansk :)

While I am not a builder, or indeed a scripter, I feel I can vote on this. Why? because I played on a server where this very script was implimented, and it worked well! Much more realistic as other have said, a fine piece of scripting!

Real-world, even-handed solution... even from the point of view of someone who loves to play rogues.
I blame what was it, 1.65? 1.66? Which ever patch it was that gave us a pickpocketable Flag. For previous scripts, you have to realize they quite literally didn't have the technology to do what I did. _________________________ Itinerant Admin: RPGModding.com - Where Modders Muster.

elegant solution, without being heavy handed against the Pick Pocket Skill.

Finally... a Pick Pocket fix that makes sense... simple -realistic- and well done! Always wondered how those thieves took off my armor -and hid it in a pouch of theirs- without me even noticing...
