List of Items for Purchase

Gladiator66 · August 21st, 2018, 03:16 PM

Is there a way to keep an item from being displayed on the list of items available for selection/purchase by player characters. I would just like the item to be available for use with monsters/NPCs. I tried to identify a tag that could be assigned or deleted, but have not been successful.

The easy way would be to setup the item to be hidden using the *Hidden tab and don't use that file that has all the hidden items yourself.

You could also setup a *Preclude that does the same as hidden but only when a specific Source is turned on. This way you could have a Source all your players turn on and you leave off for NPCs/Monsters.

I found a solution. I can tag the items as Helper objects with the [Helper.Helper] tag. This tag keeps them from displaying on the list for selection / purchase. I can still add them to monsters/NPCs as bootstrap items. If anyone knows of a way to allow them to display for selection by an monster/NPC but not by PCs, I would still be interested.

ShadowChemosh - Thanks for your comments, as well. I posted my solution at the same time you posted yours. Between them, I will have some options.
