TES3 CS. Making vendors.

Im currently making a small plugin to get used to the NPC/AI stuff and would like to know how the vendor thigns work, particularly if I set a trader to be a member of certain faction will he only sell to his own faction? If not then how I limit this?

Well, the merchant-specific stuff is under the 'AI' button on the 'edit an NPC' window; select the other tab on the window that pops up. As to whether a merchant will trade with the player based on their faction, I think class (or something near class, on the 'edit an NPC' window) determines this; for example, there's "telvanni" and there's also "telvanni service". I believe the "* service" ones will trade with anyone.

I was wondering how those go... time to check the editors.

Looks like its the other way around. If you set the Class into a 'something service' it will offers barter only to same faction. This based on the fact that I cant buy from the girl right inside Balmora Mages Guild (who happens to be 'nightingblade service') and Im not in the guild (yet).

Thanks for pointing those, I just ignored them and fiddled with all other possibilities :p

Interesting.. looks like I need to research that more, myself; thanks for the feedback.

np, just posted as I seemed to get different results. Mind you that I only checked the Mage guild merchant..
