Item Editor: Worn Items
 

Can anyone pass on some pointers about creating items that have "while worn" effects. I have a sword I am building that I want to cast DE illusion when equipped. No matter how much I dink with it I cannot get it to work correctly. Is this a problem with the specific spell or is there a way I am overlooking.

Here is the SQL for that item if anyone wants to look it over... the stats are unrealistic because I was dinking with them for fun.

Interesting effect idea, one question though... Do you want it to change you into a Dark Elf as soon as you equip it? or do you mean that you need to have it equipped to cast it?

I'm pretty sure he means he wants to be the dark elf whenever he has it on

Yes the idea was to have it Dark Elf Illusion you when the blade is equipped. Story behind the item is it is so infused with hatred that simply wielding it changes your visage to that of Innoruuk's chosen race... the Dark Elves.

Right now I have changed it to a clicky effect that must be equipped to cast... which works for now, but it isnt the effect I wanted. No matter how much I have dinked with it, I havent gotten ANY item to do an Illusion while worn.

I know this is not really what you want, but have you considered making the item proc the illusion?

This seems more in-keeping with the plot than a clicky effect as 'the hatred is unleashed when the blade is used.' With a suiteably long duration after attacking this would seem to fit the criterea you seek.
