Setting Up Your First Trader

I will break this down into step by step instructions on how to setup your very first trader.

First I will explain how to create a trader NPC from scratch.

/trader create <npcname> --type (mob)

This will create the NPC, add all the traits that you need and you will be good to go to stock and set prices.

To make an existing NPC into a trader it takes three commands from citizens:

Use these commands with care in CitiTraders 2, Some traits have requirements that will break if you add the wrong ones

/npc select # (or right click with a stick)

/trait stockroom

/trait wallet

This will turn an existing NPC into a trader, you will be good to go to stock and set prices.

To set the prices of a Trader:

/trader sellprice #.##

Then right click the trader with the item you are pricing

/trader buyprice #.##

Then right click the trader with the item you are pricing

/trader (buyprice|sellprice) remove

Will remove the buy or sell price from the Traders pricelist.

There are some additional things you can do for the trader:

1. Link Chests: This will allow you to link some chests to the trader, this will override his personal inventory and use the chests instead. /trader linkchest
2. Link NPCs: This will allow you to link to another NPC you own, and use his price list, this does nothing ot the inventory, you will only use the other traders already setup pricelist for buy and sell /trader link <npcname>

Regarding the wallet of an NPC trader: It is by DEFAULT private in other words, he holds is own money, and the owner can give and take as he pleases. There are other types of wallets: Bank (this will require that a bank plugin be installed) that will use the bank that the owner owns, Owner, the owners personal account (requires economy plugin), ADMIN, infinate money and items, TOWN_BANK, this will link a Traders account to the towns bank (REQUIRES towny to be installed,and you to be owner of the NPC and mayor/assistant of a town)
