==Inventory Updating==
When you remove an item while the player's inventory menu ([[MenuMode]] 1002) is open, the item will remain visible even though it's really not there. To refresh the menu after removing the item, use
<pre>player.AddItem YourMiscItem 1
player.EquipItem YourMiscItem
player.UnEquipItem YourMiscItem
player.RemoveItem YourMiscItem 1</pre>
However, if the menu has been hidden with '''con_ToggleMenus''' (either via script or console) this will not work.


*By default, using this function on the player will display a message informing the player that the item in question has been removed. In many situations, this is very annoying, but you can use a pair of blank [[Message]] calls to prevent it from happening, like so:
When you remove a large number of unique items from the player while their inventory menu is open, there may be some lag. You can prevent this with OBSE's [[con_ToggleMenus]] by placing it on both sides of the remove lines:
<pre>Message " "
<pre>con_ToggleMenus
Message " "
player.RemoveItem SomeItem001 1
player.RemoveItem "item ID" 1</pre>
...
This seems to shortcircuit the message display and will prevent any other messages from being queued or displayed for a couple of seconds. [[Avoiding Message Spam|Here]] are some alternative methods that don't disrupt other messages.
player.RemoveItem SomeItem100 1
con_ToggleMenus
;Refresh the menu
player.AddItem YourMiscItem 1
player.EquipItem YourMiscItem
player.UnEquipItem YourMiscItem
player.RemoveItem YourMiscItem 1</pre>

When you remove an item while the player's inventory menu (MenuMode 1002) is open, the item will remain visible even though it's really not there. To refresh the menu after removing the item, use 

player.AddItem YourMiscItem 1
player.EquipItem YourMiscItem
player.UnEquipItem YourMiscItem
player.RemoveItem YourMiscItem 1

However, if the menu has been hidden with con_ToggleMenus (either via script or console) this will not work.

When you remove a large number of unique items from the player while their inventory menu is open, there may be some lag. You can prevent this with OBSE's con_ToggleMenus by placing it on both sides of the remove lines: 

con_ToggleMenus
player.RemoveItem SomeItem001 1
...
player.RemoveItem SomeItem100 1
con_ToggleMenus
;Refresh the menu
player.AddItem YourMiscItem 1
player.EquipItem YourMiscItem
player.UnEquipItem YourMiscItem
player.RemoveItem YourMiscItem 1
