How to prevent a merchant from selling an item

[Smitty]

Anyone got any idea how I can remove an item from a merchant after it is bought, and then add it again later? neutral building- remove item from market doesn't seem to work

 

[Frozen Solid]

If item is sold:

Events-
Unit - (Marketplace) (Unit) 0246 <gen> Sells an item (from shop)

Conditions-
(Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to (Item name)

Actions-
Neutral Building - Remove (Item name you chose) from (Selling unit)

If you want item back:

Events-
Whatever event you want....

Conditions-
Whatever condition you want.....

Actions-
Neutral Building - Add (Item Name) to (Marketplace or Shop??) with (any Number) in stock and a max stock of (Any Number)

If that doesnt help then refer to this topic.

That's the action I'm using. I've used it about 3 different ways now, and it just doesn't remove the item from the shop. I have no idea why.

EDIT: Could there be some gameplay constant or tech equivalent field that I have to change? And while I'm at it, how can I stop an active item from having charges, so it's essentially unlimited?

Not sure about the first, but for the second you have to set Stats - Number of Charges to 0 and Stats - Perishable to False in the Object Editor.
