I got everything except Buy/sell to work but im assuming this is because of merchant containers?

Well, if a NPC doesn't have anything to sell, IIRC, the merchant menu should appear... But yes, you could try to set him a container...

but would it still work if he was away from it?

Of course. The container, when used as a merchant container, is just to store the data which will appear in the merchant menu. If you kill the NPC, you will not get any of the items from the container. It would also be wise to hide the container somewhere, where the player can't get, or to lock it with a key. You see, if the player raids the container, the NPC won't have anything to sell

Yes, it does. Set the container to "Persistent" and then select the target NPC in the render window, and select the container as the NPC's Merchant Container from the Merchant Container tab.

Odd... I have a character following me, with a merchant container selected, and it works everywhere in the game. Even in SI. I wonder why your's doesn't?

Is it a summon? or just a follower

Just a follower. I tried to make it summonable, but unsing Haskill's script as a base proved too difficult at the time

Haven't tried since.

I made a less complex one based off what i saw on the haskill script
