Merchant Tables
The video dates from before RPG Builder 2.0 however what is explained is still accurate to a degree, the thing to keep in mind is the editor UI has changed
Merchant Tables are now located in Economy > Merchant Tables
To assign a Merchant Table go to AI > NPCs > Your NPC > Functions. Now enable the "Merchant?" checkbox, this opens a field "Merchant Text" this is the text that will show as a dialogue option, clicking this during dialogue will instantly open the merchant panel.
Once "Merchant?" is enabled you will also get a new tab, this tab is where the Merchant Table can be defined (AI > NPCs > Your NPC > Merchant Tables)
Merchant tables makes it possible for your NPCs to sell the items of your choice.
Generic Fields
Field Name | Function |
|---|---|
ID | The ID of this asset data element. Automatically generated. |
Name | Name of the asset data in the project and editor. |
File Name | The name of the file in the project. Automatically generated. |
Display Name | The name that will be displayed to the player. |
Items
Click the Add Item button to add an item entry to the list of items for this Merchant Table.
Field Name | Function |
|---|---|
Item | The item to be sold. |
Currency | The currency of the sell price. |
Cost | The sell price. |
Merchants will convert the currency based on your defined values in Currencies
For example: you have Copper, Silver and Gold as currencies, 100 Copper becomes 1 Silver and 100 Silver becomes 1 Gold.
If you then tell the merchant table that the item costs 100 Copper it will automatically convert this to 1 Silver ingame.
Go to your item entry in Economy > Items > [Your Item]
In the "General" section you have "Resell Settings" in there define a currency and an amount this amount will be its resell value.
Go to a merchant and right click your item to sell it
Note: the same currency conversions principle applies here as well. Assuming the same settings from above, if you give the item a resell currency of 100 Copper you will gain 1 Silver upon selling the item
