Description

I am posting this for AmanShadar. This is a great PickPocket Tweak script that stops players from being able to jack someone's gear that weighs 50lbs.

It makes it so the only thing a person can pickpocket is a light item or gold.

When putting in this script into your mod, call it as_pp

Place this line in your OnAquireItem event. ExecuteScript("as_pp", GetModule());

This will run when a character first enters and mark everything over a certain weight as non-pickpocketable as well as when new items are aquired.

Great way of handling this.

I'm voting for this even though I posted it. Amanshadar made an awsome script here. I thank you Hex for the posting.

Thanks for sharing. I was using Pickpocket only GP and having problems. Anyhow, this is better, allowing for the stealing of small items. Will vote as soon as I test it out!
