Scripting help

i'm working on a dungeon mod, and i was wondering about adding a script to the cell itself. i was wondering if there's a way to set the cell so that when you enter the cell, their magicka goes to zero, and all of your inventory gets sent to a chest at the end of the dungeon. and then i wanted the inventory to be replaced with a common shirt, and a messagebox that asks what type of weapon you use, and then gives you a silver version of whatever weapon you choose. this seems a little ambitious, i know, but it would make it a fun dungeon. anyone know what the script would be for something like this, or even if its possible? and im a noob at the construction set, so where would i put in the code if it existed?
edit: oh yeah, pants... those should probably be added to the inventory too. forgot about that.

Might try posting this in the Elder Scrolls modding forum. Lots of helpful foks, there. I've gotten their assistance, before.

don't know about the inventory part, might be a little harder, I've never to my memory seen any that manipulate it in that way.

who knows, people have done some weird scripting stuff before. i'll take fable's advice and put this into the elder scrolls forums.

For the magicka you'll need a start script or an activator. For the start script you'll need a dependency on either Tribunal or Bloodmoon and for the activator you can just use morrrowind alone but tweaking the script might prove difficult. For the items you'll need a very long script including every item in the game, Morrowind script extender, or a similar script as a bag of holding. I would recommend the bag of holding that sits at the entrance and you cannot enter the door until you have nothing on you. (That might take a few scripts though but most will be pretty basic.)

Apologies, I never checked the site to see if it had changed since I used it some time ago. I recall getting scripting help from there way back, and assumed it would still be there. Having just had a look after reading your post, it now offers no help at all. So apologies once again, I guess I should have checked befor posting.

PS OK, try this site Morrowind Mods & Modder's Resources: Morrowind Tutorials there's a lot of help with making mods for Morrowind, scroll down for the script specific tutorials.
