Project Phoenix 2 Merchant Information

• Back to Merchant

Welcome

The Merchant system allows you to create your own custom stores and custom npc node based conversations. The difference between Citadels version and mine is that the Project Phoenix uses a menu based buy and sell system. It also allows for configurations like players needing a object variable like "CityStanding" is greater then 500. It also allows you to exchange the coins to any other resource in the game. Here are some examples of what merchants can do.

• Your standard merchant who buys and sells.
• A non player character with no store but instead offers a chain of dialogs.
• A resource exchange merchant. As a example trading wooden boards for recipes on the vendor.

Object Variables

below is a list of the object variables you will find on the merchants. Check the sub sections on the main merchant page on this wiki.

• Data.StoreType - this contains the store key for the StoreType table
• Data.Features - this contains the features key for the Features table
• Data.Outfit - this contains the outfit key for the Outfit table
• Data.Dialog - this contains the dialog key for the Dialog table
• Data.UIStyle - this contains the user interface style key for the Style system
