npcs starting items

[Lethargio]

how do i get an npc to carry things for selling?

[Smite_Plight]

Make a crate that the npc owns and put the things in there.

You can specify what types of things the npc sells under the AI button in the NPC info windo, with a button clled services. at least I think it's the AI button.

ok, i'll be a little more specific:

she is a wandering merchant from japan or something

she sells special items i created

i need to load these items either into her or something she owns so she can sell them, how do i go about adding items to ANY type of container, be it NPC, crate, whatever?

Go to the entry you want in the object view and drag it to the inventory listing of the container or NPC you're modifying. To change the quantity, highlight the object's entry in the container's inventory by clicking on it, wait for about half a second, and then click on that same entry's quantity listing. The listing should become an editable field. To remove an entry from a container's inventory, highlight it and press the delete key.

 

For example, if you want to put two Silver Longswords in a chest, but then you realize that you're a complete and utter idiot and want to remove them...

• Double-Click on the chest
  
• Focus on the object view and bring down the "Weapons" tab
  
• Drag the "silver longsword" entry from the object listing to the inventory listing of the chest
  
• Click on the entry that has just appeared in the chest's inventory listing, then wait half a second
  
• Click on the entry again and replace the "1" with a "2" in the field that pops up
  
• Stab yourself in the face for making such an idiotic mistake
  
• With the "silver longsword" entry in the chest's inventory listing highlighted, press the delete key

that works, thank you much. who'd a thought that iit would be so simple?
