How to add specific effects on clothing?

[VulcanTR]

Hello everyone. I was experimenting on Valdr's Luck Dagger and i have realized effect comes with Keyword.

I have learned how it works and i am planning to add specific abilities on specific items. For example, i want to add critical strike ability to all gauntlets and i have realized i cannot give the critical strike ability on items "except of weapons" because when i do that on weapons, it is succesful. But when it comes on other armor parts, it is not working.

 

How can i solve this?

idk. I think it's by design that certain equipment items can be enchanted with certain buffs and cannot be enchanted with other buffs. (ie a weapon might be suitable for applying a drain-health or drain-magic buff, but not boots/shoes, or a heavy armor buff can be applied to a chest piece but not a dagger, or many clothing items won't accept any enchantments at all).

 

it's *possible that you could use the LE version of what we use in SE (SSEDIT. I can't recall the name of the LE editor) to expand the choices, but tbh I'm not sure.

 

there are also likely mods that provide expanded enchantment opportunities if you do a quick search in the mods search box for "enchantment" (although I can't guarantee they'll fulfill your need/desire)

 

good luck

You might try to have your armor's magic effect listen for weaponsDrawn events in order to put a magic effect on the weapon at that time.

 

(checking tutorial wiki)

 

Oh well, no weaponsDrawn events, but you can do it on itemEquipped events.

 

(edit) But you're not using a weapon. You can still place a magic effect on the actor though.
