Scripting Help - Need to Disable or Delete or Remove Item Running the Script

[fortunequacker]

The line in the code that is larger font seems to be the offending piece. The code compiles and runs and does everything except this line. All I need is for this object to be removed from the player's inventory. I have already determined (Thanks WilleSea) that mySelf/Self referes to the script in this case and not the item to which the code is attached.

Any ideas how to accomplish this goal.

If I can get this to work, it will eliminate the problem where you buy too much from the vendor, causing their max gold limit to exceed.

If you have ever seen this situation, you end up selling all your stuff and not getting any gold for it. It's not fun.

What this code does is turn any gold over a set amount in the vendors inventory, into Skyrim "Septimus Notes" (Paper Money). You can then buy these from the vendor and resupply them with gold.

When you drop the "Septimus Note" and then pick it back up, it converts it back to Gold Septims.

It's a somewhat immersive way to eliminate one of the problems Bethesda made for us by putting limits on the amount of gold a vendor can have. More likely, they just used the wrong data type for the variable that tracks this value. Not sure.

Anyway, any suggestions anyone could offer will help me get this mod out sooner.
