Hi everyone. I've been working on an update to Immersive Jewelry that will allow users to switch their rings from right to left hands, and I think I have a pretty effective script to handle this using dual form lists. However, when it comes to allowing users to swap items with player enchantments as well, I had a couple of questions that I wondered if you could help me with.

First, is the limitation still in place that if an item with a player-made enchantment is equipped by means of a script, that the enchantment won't take effect until the player equips the item by hand? I wondered if there might have been a recent SKSE update that resolved this or anything.

Second, is it possible by means of the SKSE functions GetBaseEnchantment(), MagicEffect GetNthEffectMagicEffect(Int index), Float GetNthEffectMagnitude(int index), and SetNthEffectMagnitude(int index) to copy an enchantment exactly from one item (ie, a right handed ring) and apply it with the exact same parameters to another (ie, a called up left handed ring) ? If it is possible, can someone give an example of how this might be accomplished?

Try both of these script. But it seems like SetEchantment can crash your game.

Oh, those look helpful. How do I apply the values I fetched from GetEnchantment immediately into SetEnchantment?

Something like :

Armor1.SetEnchantment(Armor2.GetEnchantment())

Would that only set the type of enchantment or would it set the magnitude as well?

I have no idea since I never used these functions. You should test it before.

That Armor.SetEnchantment function sets the enchantment for the base object, not the specific ring. There are a few SKSE objectreference ones though that you can try. Haven't used them myself.

; Returns the player-made enchantment if there is oneEnchantment Function GetEnchantment() native; Changes an item's player-made enchantment to something else; None enchantment will remove the existing enchantment; does not delete the custom enchantment, only removes it'Function SetEnchantment(Enchantment source, float maxCharge) native; Creates a new enchantment on the item given the specified parameters; all arrays must be the same size; created enchantments are not purged from the save when removed or overwritten; exact same enchantments are re-used by the gameFunction CreateEnchantment(float maxCharge, MagicEffect[] effects, float[] magnitudes, int[] areas, int[] durations) native

Thanks Mojo, that looks even better. How do I have it apply the returned parameters to a new item without setting them manually myself?

Looking for something like this? Haven't used any of these functions before so no idea how they will actually behave in game. There also doesn't seem to be a way to create a MagicEffect array of a size that is not predetermined.

Also, try http://www.creationkit.com/EquipItemEx_-_Actor for the enchantment bug. I thought that this was supposed to get around it.

That looks great. Definitely something I can work with, thank you. Is there a consideration for if the item has two player made enchants?

I would assume that the two player made enchants would get merged into 1 enchantment, but I'm not sure.
