New trader with custom currency?

[Plexius]

So as the title says im working on making a new trader and using another item for a currency but im not having any luck adding something like this

<traders buy_markup="3" sell_markdown="0.2" quality_mod="0.4,8" currency_item="casinoCash" quest_tier_mod="0,0.05,0.1,0.15,0.2,0.25,0.3" >

 

tried just appending traders not much experience besides creating new loot groups and adding stuff to existing traders and loot tables. So my question is how can i make a new set of traders that require a new currency.

I made a casinoCash to use that is worth alot more than the coins think of your dollar to the penny. I wanted to create a seperate trader that is stationed at the lobby always that uses this other currency mainly

Ideally afterwards id like to create a vending machine for both rentals and playerowned that uses it as a currency 

Im going to continue to mess with it until something changes

# Trader Patches
IDC Core features Harmony patches that enable each trader to use a separate currency. To make use of this feature, a trader must be given a specific currency different than the global currency to use. There are multiple ways to specify the currency for a trader.

The first method is to modify `traders.xml` manually and add the `currency_item` attribute to the traders corresponding `trader_info` entry.
 

`<trader_info id="6" reset_interval="3" open_time="6:05" close_time="21:50" currency_item="<item name>">`

The second and ideal way is to use xpath to add the attribute to the trader's `trader_info` entry.
 

`<setattribute xpath="traders/trader_info[@id='<trader id>']" name="currency_item"><item name></setattribute>`

 

I took that from "IDC Core"  Docs -> Harmony -> Traders folder. So I think you will need IDC Core folder and your folder with the code you need for your suits.
