LE Pay myself gold?

[Tehandyman]

Sometimes, for roleplaying purposes, I like to do odd jobs around towns and villages such as working the lumber mills or pushing the grain mills or just being a guard and patrolling around.

 

So I would like to have a scripted way to pay myself money. What I mean by that is perhaps make a hotkey that I press and it automatically pays me like 10 gold (it'll work like someone just gave me 10 gold and the notification would appear as well as the gold *kaching* sound)

 

This is just to help immersion like I want to allow my character to make a living but it breaks immersion to go into the console and type "player.additem f 10"

 

So it would be a lot cleaner to just press a hotkey and boom, I get 10 gold.

 

Also the money amount is honestly arbitrary but 5 or 10 gold would be preferred.

 

It doesn't seem like a hard mod to make if you know anything about scripting (which i don't) and its also very dynamic as it can be used for so many purposes and not specifically for a certain action.

I could take the request if you allow me to put some more features, I was thinking instead of having something that simple to also add:

Random amount of money ranging from 1 gold to 10 in poor towns and from 1 to 30 in rich towns.
A timer so you can't spam the button, say... like being able to do every 30 in-game minutes? or more, you suggest.
Random texts, not just a single one (to add variety)

 

Also it'd be useful if you specify which button you would like to use, or if you'd rather have a shout or spell instead.

If you don't like something or have more suggestions to add feel free to comment in the mod page or private message me, if you have more mod requests send me a private message and If I like the idea I'll do it, if I don't I might do it but most likely no

awesome man thanks!! I like that its a random chance which adds to immersion in my opinion. And I like that it only works once every 1hr 30 minutes in game so no exploiting it.

 

But I'll be pissed if i work my butt off at a lumber mill only to get 1 gold lol. But I understand that 1 gold works better if I was rping a beggar or something so i understand.

Interesting. You could also just increase the chance of NPC gift after the player does events around town and make a highly likely NPC gift be gold. Then you could build up a reputation in a town and the townspeople would reward you. You could build this up to be a pretty impressive, immersive, and handy mod, I don't think it'd be all that much work...

@Tehandyman: I can fix that so that when you work at the lumber you'll get more than 1 gold, but i'd like to know how much should it range (from 5 to 10, for instance?)

@Matortheeternal: I can do that but being a request-mod tehandyman should like the idea first, if he does I can include that in the next update

[Tehandyman]

actually I've used the mod for a few hours now and I was wondering if you could just make a version where the lowest coin chance is 5 gold? I don't use it to beg on the streets so 1 gold doesn't really make sense in my situation. I just use the mod to act as a payment for when I do odd jobs. 5 gold would be perfect. Thanks so much, appreciate all the help.

Okay, if you got more suggestions you'd like to see don't worry asking =) as far as they don't go beyond my abilities I'd be more than glad to help.

 

-Edit-
Done, you should see the version 1.00b up now.
Added a little extra feature, you may also get Thanks letter sometimes.
