Reapplying Status Effects after Rest

So I'm currently helping a friend with an item. Its main purpose is to restore spell casts during fights, however to my knowledge that requires a rest, so you will have to restore their hit points to what it was before the rest as well as reapplying any status effects. I can manage to restore their health to what it was before the rest, but I've hit a snag in reapplying status effects. Here's what I've managed so far:
#include "x2_inc_switches"
#include "nw_i0_spells"
#include "x0_i0_match"
#include "nw_o0_itemmaker"
void TrySavingHPWithoutTempHP(object oPC, int OldHP);
int FindStatuses(object oPC);
void main()
{
int nEvent = GetUserDefinedItemEventNumber();
if (nEvent == X2_ITEM_EVENT_ACTIVATE)
{
object oPC = GetItemActivator();
int OldHP = GetCurrentHitPoints(oPC); //Save Current hitpoints with Temp. HP
if (GetHasEffect(EFFECT_TYPE_TEMPORARY_HITPOINTS, oPC) == TRUE) //Only do when there is Temp. HP
{
effect THP = EffectTemporaryHitpoints(1);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, THP, oPC, 0.1); //Apply Temp. HP for a short amount of time
DelayCommand(1.3, TrySavingHPWithoutTempHP(oPC, OldHP)); //Should trigger after Temp. HP wears off
}
else
{
TrySavingHPWithoutTempHP(oPC, OldHP);
}
}
SetExecutedScriptReturnValue(X2_EXECUTE_SCRIPT_END);
}
void TrySavingHPWithoutTempHP(object oPC, int OldHP)
{
int OldHP_T = GetCurrentHitPoints(oPC); //Saves hitpoints with Temp. HP
int OldTHP = OldHP - OldHP_T; //Gets previous Temp. HP
int NumberStatus = FindStatuses(oPC); //Finds total number of Statuses on character
int StatusNum = 1;
effect eEffect = GetFirstEffect(oPC);
while (GetIsEffectValid(eEffect))
{
SetLocalArrayInt(oPC, "DurType", StatusNum, GetEffectDurationType(eEffect)); //Arrays for various variables needed later
SetLocalArrayInt(oPC, "SubType", StatusNum, GetEffectSubType(eEffect));
SetLocalArrayInt(oPC, "DurRem", StatusNum, GetEffectDurationRemaining(eEffect));
StatusNum += 1;
RemoveEffect(oPC, eEffect); //Removes effects - don't want to double stack
SupernaturalEffect(eEffect);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT,eEffect,oPC); //Applies effect back on to character - should persist through rest
eEffect = GetNextEffect(oPC);
}
ForceRest(oPC);
StatusNum = 1;
eEffect = GetFirstEffect(oPC);
while (StatusNum <= NumberStatus)
{
RemoveEffect(oPC,eEffect); //Removes previously applied supernatural effect
if (GetLocalArrayInt(oPC,"SubType",StatusNum) == 8) //Is Magical
{
if (GetLocalArrayInt(oPC,"DurType",StatusNum) == 1) //Is Temporary
{
MagicalEffect(eEffect);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY,eEffect,oPC,IntToFloat(GetLocalArrayInt(oPC,"DurRem",StatusNum)));
}
else
{
MagicalEffect(eEffect);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT,eEffect,oPC);
}
}
else if (GetLocalArrayInt(oPC,"SubType",StatusNum) == 16) //Is Supernatural
{
if (GetLocalArrayInt(oPC,"DurType",StatusNum) == 1)
{
SupernaturalEffect(eEffect);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY,eEffect,oPC,IntToFloat(GetLocalArrayInt(oPC,"DurRem",StatusNum)));
}
else
{
SupernaturalEffect(eEffect);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT,eEffect,oPC);
}
}
else if (GetLocalArrayInt(oPC,"SubType",StatusNum) == 24) //Is Extraordinary
{
if (GetLocalArrayInt(oPC,"DurType",StatusNum) == 1)
{
ExtraordinaryEffect(eEffect);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY,eEffect,oPC,IntToFloat(GetLocalArrayInt(oPC,"DurRem",StatusNum)));
}
else
{
ExtraordinaryEffect(eEffect);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT,eEffect,oPC);
}
}
else
{
if (GetLocalArrayInt(oPC,"DurType",StatusNum) == 1)
{
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY,eEffect,oPC,IntToFloat(GetLocalArrayInt(oPC,"DurRem",StatusNum)));
}
else
{
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT,eEffect,oPC);
}
}
StatusNum += 1;
eEffect = GetNextEffect(oPC);
}
SetCurrentHitPoints(oPC, OldHP_T); //Sets hitpoints to what they were previously
if (OldTHP != 0) //Previously had Temp. HP
{
effect THP = EffectTemporaryHitpoints(OldTHP);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, THP, oPC); //Applies previous Temp. HP
}
}
int FindStatuses(object oPC)
{
int NumStatuses = 0;
effect eEffect = GetFirstEffect(oPC);
while (GetIsEffectValid(eEffect))
{
NumStatuses += 1;
eEffect = GetNextEffect(oPC);

I'm trying to remember if the new effect overrides the old effect or gets ignored because the effect is already applied.
Also, I just realized, this gets more complicated if you want to include popular buffs like Greater Magic Weapon and other effects that get placed on items.
It seems that with ForceRest(); removing every status effect this is a lost cause.
The only other way I can think of is to make a giant switch case, basically copying all the buff and debuff spell scripts, but applying the effects with the duration left.
This definitely should not be the case. In testing, I added several supernatural effects followed by a ForceRest and all SupernaturalEffects remained. If they are permanent SupernaturalEffects that is.
