I'm back trying to make script, and understand the work good scripters do. I think the first step is to make gold money piles in order to have enough money drop on the monsters. I'have already found a 3D free model for the vendor (i call him Blaze_gypsy) and integrated the script Adding NPC traders to your dungeon - buy stuff! use Alcoves from Akatana, but before beeing able to buy something, money is needed. So here is my newbie trying:
For the Gold coin, i used the gor gold coin model from Germanny in his grim_vsword_v21-128-2-1.
Then I made a pile in my blender, capture the render for the icon_atlas and integrated it in a custom atlas (sorry for , imported the pile model in GMT to edit the Gold_Coin_pile.model file.
The next step was to define the new object un a gold_coin_pile.lua imported before in my init.lua:

end
end
But whatever i try, i can't destroy the gold_coin_pile in the party inventory and my spawn of the stack appears on the floor and not in the inventory. I looked the use of Grimq but my understanding of
the ChampionInventoryEx function and replace() subfunction is nearly a desaster...
) and I had the same Idea to use Germannys wonderful coins for this. So I am looking forward for your project.
