== Usage Example ==
Remember the Commissary terminals from Fallout New Vegas: Lonesome Road
well i manage to figure out how to implement this into skyrim.
 
Here's the script:
 
<source lang="papyrus">
<source lang="papyrus">
Scriptname YourScriptName extends ObjectReference   
ScriptName YourActivatorScript Extends ObjectReference   
 
Actor property ThisActor Auto
Actor Property kSomeActor Auto ; Filled with desired merchant Actor
;this is where you point it to the merchant actor you have already made.
 
Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
Function ShowBarterMenu() native
If akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer() ; Only if activated by the player
 
kSomeActor.ShowBarterMenu() ; Show this actor's barter menu
 
EndIf
event onActivate(objectReference activateRef)
if activateRef == game.getPlayer()
;if the activator is activated by the player.
 
            Thisactor.ShowBarterMenu()
;then show this actors barter menu.
 
  EndIf
EndEvent
EndEvent
</source>
</source>


This script has to be placed on an activator for it to work.
== Notes ==
i recommend to add in the "DweButtonScript" script along this one and then pick a sound,
* This function will fail if the actor isn't actually loaded. The barter menu will appear, but it will be empty even if the actor's merchant chest has items in it.
so when you activate it you get a sound along, like a beep or a evil laughter for example.
* The function will also fail and show an empty barter menu if the conditions aren't met for the actor's merchant faction to sell, e.g. she's not near the reference she needs to be.
VampireMonkey out.
