Traders!

Hey there!

 

I was just wondering if I can adjust the buy/sell price on a merchant. For example, if I want a trader to take five times the amount of caps for buying stuff, how would I do that? The openbartermenu (or something) [<100-100> doesn't cut it. I want a % cost, if possible. Any manipulating would help though!

 

Also, after following http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/Creating_a_new_vendor that tutorial, I made a vendor but when I sell him stuff they don't show up in his barter menu, also there are no categories like "aid", "health, "ammo" etc. what's up with that?

 

Help is appreciated!

About your first part of the question...I don't remember :P but you can check the bartender character in goodsprings for the condition that's used to give the player a discount (it should be either in the character script, a quest script or in the character's dialogue section.) That condition can be used to make stuff more expensive.

 

About your second question: Most merchants use leveled item lists. Most of these lists are grouped by type of item (i.e. they incorporate items of the same type: Armor, Weapons, Ammo, Aid, Chems, etc) so if you want your character to sell a type of item make sure he has the correct leveled list in his merchant list.

Other thing that you should also notice is that some items in these lists are only visible to characters if they meet a "required level" condition.

Oh I see! The tutorial just said to leave it on the auto option. I'll just go and tick all of them then. That worked :D

 

Though the discount is using showbartermenu, which is not what I need since it doesn't really work that great for making him buy stuff from me at a decreased price. I guess it's all I got but I would want him to buy stuff for 50% of what it's worth.

 

EDIT: Actually using -50 worked... The command has apparently been changed since FO3.

 

Well kudos to you for helping me with the first issue
