• I'm making a new potion, but the effect stacks when consumed another. The item shouldn't be consumed because it's still in effect and the effect shouldn't stack.
  
   Here are the pictures:

• Hi, Kevin. Welcome to TorchModders.
  
  Post all the code for the potion you've created, so we can have a look at what's going on.

• Is that in .dat format? I'm pretty new with this. This is from the .dat file of it.

• Hiyya Kevin and welcome!
  
  Hmm my opinion is that maybe you want to apply the effect via an affix rather than directly in the .DAT like that.
  
  Reason being that affixes can be started by putting them in an [AFFIXES] section, and can be turned off by putting them in an [AFFIXESREMOVE] section.
  
  So you start out with [AFFIXESREMOVE]  to remove any previously running incidences of your affix, then [AFFIXES] after that, to kick off a current incidence of your affix.
  
  For constructing the actual affix, try copying an existing affix then substituting your effects inside of it.
  
  EDIT: Gyt made a great tutorial on affixes here...

• I kinda fixed the stacking part by adding "<BOOL>DONT_USE_ON_FULL:true".
  BUT, 1 out of 3 effects are only running.

• Hey Scythe, it's you!  Welcome to Torchmodders
  
  If you have all those effects inside one affix, then the method I described would turn them all on and off at the same time.

• So, you mean I should make an affix exclusive to the potion?

• I tried it now. It still takes 1 out of 3 effects out of the affix I made or I did something wrong.
