Talk:Functions for getting and setting properties on items

Ok! I decided to send Bethesda an email asking about this - with the slight chance that there might be some workaround...

Here's the mail:

Hi,
after posting a topic asking about this on the Oblivion forums and making a topic on
the Wiki, I felt I had to try and ask you Bethesda personaly.

As the title allready tries to explain, I'm looking for some functions to get and set 
properties on an item (eg. a sword). The purpose (in short) would be to use these 
functions in a mod where I'd like to first check to see if an item (sword, armor, 
etc.) has depleated its charges - if it has then I'd replenish them.

The answer I've got so far is that this isn't possible - even though every one I've
asked has added that it's a pitty and it should be.

So my question is - is there any way of getting eg. the amount of charges left in a 
sword? If there is I'd realy like to know... I guess the whole modding community would 
realy like to know.

Yours sinceraly.
