How to: Merchant sells key

[Zorkaz]

I want Railds Oril (Suran, Trader) to sell a key to a house. But I don't seem to find an option in the trader class to sell and accept keys.

 

(Btw. I've already created the key and set ownership to Railds Oril)

Keys are miscellaneous items and Ralds Oril (trader service) sells miscellaneous items, so you don't need a special category for keys. However, as you may have observed, the key is not available for purchase. I seemed to recall an explanation for this being that keys do not have any weight. I made my test key weigh 0.01 units and Ralds Oril happily sold it to me. I also tested by placing the (weightless) key in his inventory, and it was available for sale. I understand why you might not want to make changes to an official NPC, but the key could be added by a script.

 

It sounds like Ralds Oril is selling a home. You might decide to sell the home and offer the key through normal dialogue rather than the barter menu. In that case, the key can be offered through dialogue results when the player agrees to purchase. No weight is required.

Ah thank you.

I simply placed the key in an container under the floor, belonging to him.

But the weight was the issue
