[LE] Gold Amount Trigger

[KaiserRyan]

Hi there I'm new to modding. I was inspired to start because I'm frustrated with the state of merchants in the game. I was hoping to trigger merchants to behave differently depending on the amount of gold in their inventory. However I can not find anything in the trigger or flag files. Does anyone know if one of these triggers exists or how to create one if not? Thanks very much.

Bonus question:
does anyone know if one can make a transaction between NPC merchants happen?

Thanks very much! Have a great day.

There's a condition function, GetGold, that you can use to modify things like AI packages, dialogue, etc. You can also find it in Papyrus for use in scripts.

 

You can fake a transaction between NPC merchants, but an actual sale in the sense that a player does it, where prices are automatically calculated based on speech skill/perks, is not possible. It's also worth noting that merchant sale inventory (incl. gold) is mostly contained in a hidden chest, which can significantly complicate things depending on what you choose to do.
