[LE] Changing player inventory on barter to another container.

[nakano15]

Someone knows if it's possible to change the player side inventory opened by the barter interface?

 

I'm making a mod that adds a merchant companion, and I want to add a dialogue where I use his chest as the inventory on the player side when bartering with a npc.

Short Answer: Not possible to my knowledge. The menu interface is designed to be from the player perspective. So it is player inventory with container inventory or player inventory with NPC inventory.

 

Long Answer: If you can figure out how Bethesda coded the menus, it may be possible to "hack" something with an SKSE DLL. No idea how to do that though.

 

Very Remote Theory: There are some mods that have figured out how to let one take control of another character. It may be possible then to take control of an NPC and then interact with the merchant. With luck, maybe the interface will use the NPC's inventory in that scenario.

I see.

I guess I'll have to dig Creation Kit to see if I can find a breech.

 

Thanks by the way.
