How does Opcode Set State (328) work?

What are the effects of this opcode, how does it work and what are the potential conflicts?

For example if a character is already under a state, for example: ENCHANTED_WEAPON - 93

Will this interfere with other spells attempting to set states?
Thank you in advance...

    ?!!?....

    stats.ids >> statistic (profs, resist, misc bonus...)
    state.ids >> state (normal, charmed, poisoned...)

    Can you be in more than one state at a time? i.e. charmed and poisoned ect...?

    Of course, they're stackable.

    Is there any downfall to having multiple states or permanent states?

    The states are independent, if that's what you ask. Each are represented by a single bit.
    There is a StateCheck trigger, and the spell protection mechanism also works with it (like additional effects could affect you if you are in a specific state/or not in a specific state).

    @Avenger_teambg , could this be extended to have something like the spell combinations in DA:O?

    For example, could you have Grease apply a "Greased" state that causes fire spells to deal bonus damage to any Greased target?

    Thank you for everyones assistance in the matter

    I was worried that if I set a permanent state for example "enchant weapon" that would negatively affect or interfere the character going forward.

    This could be used as a base of that, yeah. A volunteering modder could do it anytime now.
    It takes 3 additional effects per combination.
    1 - 328 with set state
    2 - 326 with add effects list (based on state)
    3 - the actual extra damage, and other effects.

    The original opcode 177 for detecting conditions is totally superseded by opcodes 318/324/326.
