Need help making shields behave like armor during combat.

I am trying to make it so that when combat commences, you are unable to unequip or equip a shield, similar to the way you cannot equip or unequip armor during combat. The reasoning behind this is, because i don't like how you can just go from using a bow, to using a sword and shield whenever it's convenient. Or any two-handed weapon for that matter, because it gives you the offense of a two-handed melee weapon, or the range of a longbow, but also allows you to have the defense of a shield if you take the time to pause the game and rearrange your inventory during combat. In my opinion, that makes the game to easy.

I'm not sure there's any way to implement that. The inability to swap armor in combat seems to be a hardcoded feature of the game, rather than something that can be enabled or disabled by changing data values.

Yeah, thats what i thought the issue probably was.
