Merchant through a menu

[Deleted11438360User]

So I would like to make a merchant that shows a trade window through a scripted menu, but what would I need to do? I have the scripting down for the menu, I'd assume I'd need to create an actor with all the merchant jazz, but what else? Are there any commands to just straight-up open the menu through the actor? Or is there actually some nifty actor-less method?

To create a remote merchant store:

You need to create the actor complete with merchant chest, faction and all else required for a normal merchant.

You need to place the actor and chest in a non-connected cell (it could be connected if you want a face to face store as well)

Once that is done, in your scripted menu where you want to access the store use ShowBarterMenu()

Because the merchant will not be a dialogue target you will need to obtain the actor by some other means. Perhaps a direct property. Perhaps as a quest alias.

Ah ha! Yes, that's the one, I couldn't remember the name so I put in "merchant" and "trader" into the search on the wiki. I'll see about adding them to my quest as an alias, that all sounds good. Thanks again bud. :)
