Hi, I am looking at making a mod that individually changes the price of items that merchants sell, depending on where they are. Much like what EE for OB did but I am going to attach a script to each NPC as FOSE doesn't have the functions OBSE does for EE.

So is there a SetPrice script or such like?

FOSE's http://fose.silverlock.org/fose_command_doc.html#SetBaseItemValue sounds like it should do the trick.

P.S. What is "EE" short for? Not all of us here are familiar with many Oblivion mods.

Thanks, and http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=25078 is EE.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this script please??

Thanks

Begin MenuMode 1053	if Player.GetInCell Megaton == 1	SetBaseItemValue 00015169 2000	endifEnd

I'm not sure if using form ID's for objects in script will work. I do know that you can use the actual editor ID, though. At a minimum, it will make your code easier to read.

You probably won't see the changes if you change it during barter. You'll want to call that before the player enters the trade window.

Tried this:

Begin GameMode	if((Player.GetInCell Megaton == 1) && (GetValue stimpak != 2000))	SetBaseItemValue stimpak 2000	endifEnd

And still nothing. Any suggestions?

By the way I am trying to make a mod that changes prices based on location, and this is just a test so far.

I'm going to try it myself, becasue it looks right to me. Is your script running as a quest script?

Yeah it is,

my full script so far just sets the quest to the right stage then does this, but nothing happens. The stage setting works, just not this bit.

Is the name of the cell simply "megaton" ? I would think you would want the GetinCell to be the specific shop. :shrug:

Tried it with MegatonClinic, still didn't work though. The GECK wiki says that the GetInCell works for any cell beginning with "Megaton" though, so it should have worked.

I got it to work, but not with stimpaks. I did change the value of the 556 ammo, though. My guess is that the value of stimpaks is a "potion value" which must not be the same as the "value" for other inventory objects.

Ah, ok, thanks.

That's a start at least.

Now, is there a way to change potion values, and is there a way to change all types yet, or will I need to wait till FOSE catches up with OBSE??

I can't think of any, sorry. The only command I know of to set a value is the FOSE one we have been using. But it seems to work on only one record type, which Ingestibles are not a member of.
For a limited case, you could script a vendor to remove his stimpaks and replace them with a more valuable version. But that gets hairy for the big picture.

It gets hairy indeed,

hopefully the FOSE team will be able to add in the change potion price functionality soon.

There is always the option of giving the player more or less caps depending on the supposed price, i.e. if in Megaton player gets 10 caps or somewhat.

You could add a script to the container.

Int iCountRef rContainerBegin OnReset	Set rContainer to GetSelf 	Set iCount to rContainer.GetItemCount Widget	rContainer.RemoveItem Widget iCount	rContainer.AddItem Sprocket iCountEnd

Or you could push an activator under the floor with an OnLoad block to swap stuff out.

This isn't related to the OP but thought I would save on making a new post anyway.

On the oblivion wiki it says



So if I created dummy interior cells, would the GetInCell function also return a 1 if it was in an exterior cell with the same beginning??

Thanks.

From your own quote, it says that exterior cells won't work. You have to use http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/GetInWorldspace.

What about the bit that say

I have quit using getincell. Sometimes it is as though the check fails for no good reason. Getinzone always seems to work though.

@JustinOther:
It's a bad idea to use http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetSelf in that way. Not only will it decrease the script's efficiency, it will also prevent the script from working with references saved within the save game (for example, references created via http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/PlaceAtMe) as http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetSelf will return 0 when called on these references. http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetSelf should only ever be used when either passing information to another script, or when the scripted reference's refID needs to be passed to a function as a parameter (such as with http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/PushActorAway).
