Hello everybody,

I'm planning for a NPC shop module. You can request features now
I talked to alongib, he will add needed natives on 1.1.1-alpha.
Note: This plugin is experimental and can change total during development.

Commands (preview):

sm_npcshop_admin - Opens admin main menu for this module.
sm_npcshop_create - You will be able to spawn only a default shop, for custom NPCs you need to edit mapconfigs here: configs/shops/maps/<mapname>.cfg
sm_npcshop_delete - Delete NPC Shop you're looking at from your mapconfig
sm_npcshop_deleteall - Delete all NPC Shops from your mapconfig

Cvars:

sm_npcshop_version
sm_npcshop_enable "1"
sm_npcshop_canfollow "0" // 0=disable, 1=all, 2=red team, 3=blue team (like hostages in css)
sm_npcshop_teamid_red "2"
sm_npcshop_teamid_blue "3"

Events (preview):

You will be able to add dynamics for chat. Look whichone are provided each event (exampe: "{shopname}: {playername} welcome to my shop.").

OnBuyItem - {shopname} {playername} {credits} {creditsleft} {itemname}
OnBuyFailed - {shopname} {playername} {reason} {credits} {creditsleft} {itemname}
OnShopCommand - {shopname} {playername}
OnNpcShopTouch - {shopname} {playername}
OnNpcShopHurt - {shopname} {playername}
OnNpcShopInRange - {shopname} {playername}
OnNpcShopOutRanged - {shopname} {playername}

Events Settings (preview):

Also you can add settings for events to customize them at bit more: (example: "notifiyall, center")
text_notifyall - print text msg. to all players
text_notifyinrange - print text msg. to all player which are in range for the same npc shop
center - print text msg. to center text instead of using chat
sound_playeronly - plays event sound on to a player instead of using it as an ambient sound

Settings (preview):

"NPCShops"
{
"Shop1" //Shopname
{
"health" "0" // default 0 for godmode //repsawn on round start
"range" "500" // max. range to unlock shop (0 only on touch)
"model" "models/barney.mdl" //npc model path
"buyzone" "0" //set this to "1" if you like to enable buyzone for player which are in range
"x" "0.0"
"y" "0.0"
"z" "0.0"
"default_animation" "<animationname>" //this animation will apply if no other animation is triggered or last animation ends
"<eventname>_animation" "<animationname>" //set interactive animations
"<eventname>_sound" "<filepath>" //play a sound
"<eventname>_text" "<animationname>"
"<eventname>_settings" "<settings>"
}
}

Animations:

You can list all Animation strings with Hammer Editor for each model you like to use.
Some models don't have animations!

Shop Interaction:

Shop will open if a player is in range.
Players can press USE while in range to open shop menu or use !store or !shop.
In other words: the shop is unlocked while in range.

PHP Code:

ANY, maybe some features won't work for some games, but main support is CS:S

I don't like to create moveable shops, there is no need to.
I like to keep it simple with animations.
There will be an option to script model animations:

PHP Code:

SetVariantString(animation);
AcceptEntityInput(entity, "SetAnimation"); 


EDIT: Released a first alpha code

[alongub]

Awesome project! I'm still thinking what is the best way to implement Store_EnableFeature and Store_DisableFeature.

[zipcore]

updated should kind of useable now

EDIT: again

[zipcore]

If nobody has found bugs to fix, I will wait for store-1.1.1 to continue coding.

What exactly is NPC Shop? I am confused.
