how do you edit a stores inventory in the construction set?

[thelawfull]

I want to add something to rindirs items to sell and keep it there until someone buys it in the cs but cant find a way to do this.

I'm not sure, as this isn't something I ever really invested time and work into in the past, but didn't all merchants in Oblivion have their (sometimes submerged, below the ground) merchant chests inside their stores?

 

edit: According to the WiKi I'm not that far off here:

I figured it out, But thankyou for responding to this post. :)

An easy way to do it that won't result in conflicts with other mods is to:

 

1. Create a new chest and fill it with the extra items you want a particular merchant to sell.

 

2. Place the new chest somewhere in the merchant's cell.

 

3. Set ownership of the new chest to the merchant.

 

The merchant will now sell the items in the new chest as well as the items in his/her original chest.

yeah the problem i was having is i was trying to sell something that didnt have a value xP

I don't think you can get a merchant to sell something that has no value.

 

You can also tuck the item into the specific merchant's existing chest, i.e. Rindir'sStaffsSalesChest, or whatever it is called. But don't put it into the generic chest(s) that are usually under the shop, or all merchants in the game who have those chests will carry the item.

 

If you want one item, and when it is sold, it's gone, do what the Vyper said, create a unique chest for the vendor, and set it to "non-respawning", and put the item in there.

 

Cheers
