Vendor Fallout 1 & 2 style

[Carnatics]

I want to make a mod that allows the player to barter with every npc

 

to accomplish this it has to be done on script base

just to reduce the amount of work.

 

so here is the idea

 

making a simple conservation quest that has only the line "We should trade" or something similar and make this topic "link from ANY" "toplevel" and without any requierments

now every npc has this pharse.

 

in the end script is the showbartermenu command, so far so good...now to the problem

 

even if the npc has some stuff in his inventory it will not be shown because his services are not set to trade

 

how the hell could i activate it for all npcs without affecting the allready existing venors

 

lets say i make in the begin script line something like SetClass VendorWeapons

 

how do i make the script use the npc iam talking to at the moment?

 

and how do i reset the npcs class after the trade ?

 

every help i welcome

I believe SetClass is a reference function, so you can just call it in the result script and it will set the class of the conversation Subject. You could use a series of "if GetIsClass <whatever> == 1" statements beforehand to remember the NPCs original class (and possibly match them up with conditions on the dialog topic, if you don't want to code for every single class in the game). Then use SetClass again when the bartermenu is closed.

thanks for the reply

i made a workarround

 

1 a talking option that every npc uses

 

2 a dummy npc in a special cell with its own merchant container

 

3 A Ranom Leveled item lis

 

So when you choose the barter dialog, the begin script says add some random obects to the barter chest then Open the barterdmenu from the dummy npc

and the endscript says remove all items from the barter chest

 

so immediatly after the trade all items are removed and the only dialog option is goodbye (to prevent calling it 100times and cheat)

 

the procedure is.

 

--->hello

--->lets Trade

---->trading

---->reseting the vendor chest to randomize

---->goodbye

 

this affects not the trading options for vendors cuz it works independently of each other
