Intercepting barter event with NPC

[Legacy_Rolo Kipp]

                <haggling over a...>

So, barter only works between players. If you try to give something (other than a potion) to an NPC (other than your henchman) a "you can't barter, stoopid" dialogue pops up.

Yet, the click-drag-an-item movement is quite intuitive...
Can we intercept the event when a player drops an item on an NPC so that we can put in place our own barter/gift system? I'd like to avoid convo, and let players drop items on NPCs.

Failing that, I might have to create some kind of horse-trading rug item that a PC could drop things on and target NPC... ugh.

Please tell me we can capture the event... Please?

               The event isn't hooked. You could use onunacquire instead, though. Or you could give the pc a widget to give the npc whatever it is they want, by targeting the item. I strongly suspect, however, that one or more of the henchman systems on the vault has this sort of thing covered, since I recall playing through SP adventures where hench inventory was nonproblematic, years ago. Hopefully someone on here can be more specific  - I don't use henchman functionality at all, myself.

TY, FS.
I was hoping it was, though.  

I am reading through the Module Builder's Henchman Kit, Henchmen Always Bleed To Death and OldManBeard's Henchman System for other reasons, but it's specifically for non-henchmen NPCs I'd like to make giving easier.

I'll implement convo's for bartering, since haggling *is* part of bartering. But giving... what a pain in the neck ;-/

               Yeah I sort of stinks that you can't.  I prevent bartering between players in shops as it's sort of tacky and shop owner just don't appreciate it.  Well that's the idea at least.  So all shops have a sign saying 'No Bartering'.  Not much help I know just thought to empathize with you point.
