Yep. That's it, activate through dialogue

You need two things. First the merchant object which as you say only show up as a arrow in the toolkit. Second you need the actual merchant. I.e. a character that tends the store.

You have to make some sort of dialogue for the character along the lines of.
NPC - "Welcome <sir/madam>, what can I do for you?"
PC - "I would like to see what you have for sale, please"
NPC - "Certainly, have a look"

To the last line you need to attach a script under 'Actions taken' which could look somthing like this:

Code:

  
void main()
{
    object oStore = GetObjectByTag("Merchant001");
    OpenStore(oStore,GetPCSpeaker());
}

Substitue "Merchant001" with whatever tag you merchant object has.

Note: If you use the wizard on 'Actions taken' script you will get help on creating the script.

If you're stil having dificulty then try this tutorial . It is a little of the long way to do it but it will definetly work and you can just modify the store/merchant to make the different merchants you need.
