[LE] Owned potions can’t be sold by alchemist, help

[wilwhitt56]

I should be specific, I'm trying to have my alchemist sell these potions: https://imgur.com/a/IfpZayu

By having them connected to the ownership of his faction: https://imgur.com/gallery/dTVIcZ6

He doesn't want to sell them for some reason. Anyone know why?

Have you put them in his merchant chest?

What exactly do you mean by that? You're gonna have to be specific with me, cause i'm a bit slow.

The merchant NPC needs to be in a faction that has a merchant chest associated with it and that merchant chest contains the items he can sell.

Right and he is in a faction with a chest attached to him, with the correct items that he can sell. Which for him is apothecary items like potions, poisons, and alchemical ingredients.

I understand that you are trying to have the merchant sell items on his counter or elsewhere in his shop. This might be off the wall. Sometimes with activators they don't work if they are at an angle of 0 degrees. These aren't activators but have you tried rotating the potions that don't sell by 0.1 degrees?

Another possibility, are you testing it with a clean save from before you set up the shop? Odd things get baked into save files and cause things not to work. If no clean save, try deleting the problem potions and re-doing.

In which case the fact that you have made the potions themselves owned by a faction may be the problem. I haven't seen that done before and as a side effect it also may mean those potions can't be sold by any other faction.

Their not activators, their just the potions themselves.

I figured it out, Turns out it was distance. the Vendor tab under Faction has a distance that tells the npc what they can sell within that range. It was just too short.
