'''Type:''' <code>ARMO</code>
<BR/>
'''Papyrus:''' [[Armor Script]], [[ObjectReference 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 [[ArmorAddon]]s 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).

*'''Object Template:''' The various instances of the armor that can be created (e.g., light, medium, heavy, etc.)
*'''Race:''' The [[Race]] that can utilize this armor item.
**'''Biped Object:''' The body parts and armor slots that this item uses. The item will be mutually exclusive with armors that cover any of the same parts. The parts shown will depend on the selected Race.  The selected slots must be a superset of the slots occupied by the armor addons.
*'''Male and Female Definitions:'''
**{{Template:Editor:Property:World Model}}
**{{Template:Editor:Property:Icon|property=Icon Image}}
**{{Template:Editor:Property:Message Icon}}
*'''Show All''' An editor control that has no impact on the ARMO record
*'''Models:''' A list of [[ArmorAddon]] forms that this armor uses. The Armor form only defines the item itself; ArmorAddon forms define how the item appears on a character, when that character wears it.
**'''AddonIndex:''' Organizes [[ArmorAddon]]s into groups.  
*** By default, only the addons with the lowest index will be displayed.
*** Armor addons in the same group must occupy different armor slots
*** Armor addons that use the same armor slot must belong to different groups.
*** For example, the '''Models''' list for leather armor will contain the addons for the light (1), medium(2) and heavy(3) variants and uses [[Object Mod]]s (e.g., mod_armor_Leather_Arm_Size_B) to change the index (iAddonIndex).
**'''ArmorAddon:''' The ID of the [[ArmorAddon]].
*'''Damage Type Resistances:''' A list of [[Damage Type]]s, and the amount of resistance to each this armor offers when worn.
*{{Template:Editor:Property:Description}} {{Template:Editor:PropertyObsolete}}
*{{Template:Editor:Property:Keywords}} Some of these have special effects, such as preventing only the player from wearing an item.
*{{Template:Editor:Property:Papyrus Script}} In most cases, attaching an [[ObjectReference Script]] is more useful than attaching an [[Armor Script]].

== Notes ==
* Items with an index of 0 will appear all the time.  Items with an index of 1 or more can be made to appear using OMODs to change the iAddonIndex
* If an armor addon is not appearing in game, check for a conflict between its equipment slots and the equipment slots specified by the armor.
* Even though the CreationKit editor will not allow the same addon to appear in the models list more than once, it is possible to accomplish this using F04Edit, and it works in game.
* Needs confirmation, but when multiple ARMA records have SCLP data, only the data from a single record is applied; the data is not composited.  The ARMA record that's selected may not even be active (e.g., the SCLP data from from ARMA with index 2 can be used even when the iAddonIndex is 1).
