Is There A Complete PlayerVendor Search Command Available?

[tiffanynation]

Looking to make a custom script that will let players search for items that other players
are selling... A script like this would be very usefull... Players would no longer have to
visit all of the PlayerVendors in the world and look in each bag, just to see what's available...


So far I've been able to CallFor & Return values for all the PlayerVendors in the world...
How would I CallFor & Return values for all of the VendorItems that they are holding?
Example: (VendorItem) (VendorItemPrice) (VendorItemDescription) ect...

This is the working code that I have so far:

///////////////////
//Write Search Results To File
///////////////////
StreamWriter PlayerVendorFile = new StreamWriter("c:\\PlayerVendorFile.txt");
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
foreach ( Mobile mob in World.Mobiles.Values )
{
    if ( mob is PlayerVendor )
    {
        PlayerVendor pv = mob as PlayerVendor;
        list.Add( pv );
        PlayerVendorFile.WriteLine( pv );
        PlayerVendorFile.WriteLine( pv.ShopName );
        PlayerVendorFile.WriteLine( pv.Name );
        PlayerVendorFile.WriteLine( pv.Owner.Name );
        PlayerVendorFile.WriteLine( pv.Map );
        PlayerVendorFile.WriteLine( pv.Backpack );
        PlayerVendorFile.WriteLine( pv.AccessLevel );
        PlayerVendorFile.WriteLine( pv.Location );
        PlayerVendorFile.WriteLine( pv.X );
        PlayerVendorFile.WriteLine( pv.Y );
        PlayerVendorFile.WriteLine( pv.Z );
        PlayerVendorFile.WriteLine( pv.RawName );
        PlayerVendorFile.WriteLine( "---------------"
    }
}
PlayerVendorFile.Close();

This is the one I use. Took awhile to get working, had this for 3-4 years now so im not too sure who the original author is. First part is the gump and the second script searches all vendors and makes a database for the gump. All you have to do is trigger the database on a worldsave or on a timer, whatever you think is appropriate. Should give you a starting point to make a better version.

Players use the command [sv "string" so can search for keywords in the database.

Won't it be better to create the database by looping on the world mobiles (and check for vendors) and get their items instead of looping on the items, check if they are on a vendor, get the VendorItem....?

There are a lot less mobiles in the world than items.

 

[Acronis]

What I would do is modify the vendor script itself so that when an item is added to a vendor, an entry is also added to a dictionary. Make a new class called VendorItemEntry or something and it would contain the item as well as other info such as the vendor, location etc. Then you just need to loop through that dictionary.
