Is there a way to make an actual shapechanger race?

I'm new to modding so i'm not going to say that it's something I can do, but I was wondering, is there a way to make a true shapeshifter race? Like make one that change's form when certain conditions are met (i.e. entering combat, or at certain times of day, etc.)? I was just curious because I remembered wwerwolves being an enemy type but, they're obviously always werewolves and never human during the daytime.

It's possible, but only in a module-specific way and with slight lag because you'd need a module-specific heartbeat script that periodically checks the status of all players and fire scripts and effects accordingly. If you wish to do it for players.

For NPCs and enemies, create event scripts for them and set these accordingly in the creature properties.

In case the polymorph you wish to assign does not exist, create a hakpack and modify polymorph.2da

Note though that unlike NWN2 (natural spell feat), NWN:EE still lacks functionality to permit spellcasting while shapeshifted.
