Hopefully this post will clarify if my memory is still working and also provide a simplistic answer to anyone questions regarding the creation of a merchant in Morrowind
If I remember well you can place items in a container and the merchant NPC will have them in inventory to sell
#1 As long as the item ownership is marked as the NPC's is this correct ?
#2 Also if your adding items by changing the quantity to a negative number, those items with negative numbers will respawn daily. SO that if the player buys a hammer from a smith merchant one day and uses it, the next day he can go back to that merchant and buy another hammer (of course this only applies if the merchant has only 1 hammer in inventory)
#3 Everything in the store (wheather it is inside or outside) which has an ownership of the Merchant NPC will be in the Merchants inventory for sale
SO if their aree items on display and you do not want to offer them for sale
you must either
A) script them as "no_pickup"
B) add a guard and place the ownership as the guards
What about training
Can your merchant train and if so is he/she limited to certain types of training or can the Modder change this ?
Hope my memory is good, if not please add to or correct what is incorrect
Thanks Much
Enjoy
