Trouble with containers

Post » Fri May 13, 2011 5:05 pm

I'm trying to add some items to Durga's barter list in the Citadel Armory. In the past I've done this via the vendor's leveled lists, but Durga uses the generic caps, stimpacks, and armor & weapons lists, so I can't use those without the items showing up in other places. Each vendor does have a unique container though, a buried vendor chest. I've tried adding my items to VendorChestBuriedKnightSergeantDurga and to VendorContainerKnightSergeantDurga, but nothing seems to happen, even after waiting 5 or 6 days in other cells. Anyone know what the problem might be :banghead: ?

First off, be sure Durga is an authorized vendor of the items you are adding. This has tripped me up more than once.

Second, why not just use the tried and true "add an owned container to the cell" technique. You can mark it initially disabled, then enable it via script when you want your new items to appear.

Yup, that's probably it. They'd be the only "Misc." items in her inventory. Regarding "second", that's how the engine determines which items are for sale? The ownership of the containers? That would definitely help with compatibility, I've already been jumping through hoops to maintain it as much as possible.
