**Untested
**If the Magic Item has 2 of the same effect, they will be counted separately.
**#Do effects from the same source stack into one? That is, if a potion has 2 '''Shield''' effects, will there be 2 Active Effects, each with their own magnitude?
**If the effect is from the same Magic Item (i.e., 2 instances of DrinkAle), it will still count as 2 separate Active Effects.
**#Will the same spell stack? That is, if you cast a '''Shield''' spell on an NPC twice, will there be 2 Active Effects or 1? (If spells don't work that way, potions can be stacked multiple times on the player by applying it as a poison.)

A command for Oblivion Script Extender

Syntax: 

(count:long) reference.GetActiveEffectCount

Returns the number of Active Effects on the reference.

Example 

short NumEffects
set NumEffects to player.GetActiveEffectCount

If the player currently has 1 potion with Shield and Restore Health, another potion with Restore Health, and a spell with Shield and Drain Health this will return 5 (2 Shields, 2 Restore Healths, and 1 Drain Health).

Notes

  • Active Effects from different sources are counted as unique Active Effects, even if they are the same. For example, a Shield effect from a potion, a Shield effect from another potion, and a Shield effect from a spell, each one will return their own magnitude.
    • If the Magic Item has 2 of the same effect, they will be counted separately.
    • If the effect is from the same Magic Item (i.e., 2 instances of DrinkAle), it will still count as 2 separate Active Effects.
      • The only exception is scripted effects with the same script. Generally, only the first one's data (Magic Item Index, Caster, etc.) will be used.
