Trainer Exploit Fix

Description
This is a script mod that removes the exploit that allows players to train for free. Essentially, it stops the money you pay for training from ending up in the trainer's inventory, so you can't steal it back or just help yourself if they happen to be a follower.

Before you tell me off for trying to ruin the immersive nature of the game, you know that Bethesda tried to do something similar, but completely failed. You see, they added an event listener to the scripts associated with the trainers so that when you parted ways from them, their inventory was checked for gold and if they were found to have over a certain amount, it was reset. In my opinion, this is pointless. As long as you remembered to take your money straight back it had no effect, and as a method; it was indiscriminate of the gold's origin. You could give - say, Faendal - all your gold, wander off and go back to find him with only 500 in his pockets. Not that anyone should be giving Faendal all their gold, but you get my point.

I made this to stop myself from ruining my own game but I figured there must be others out there with similarly low levels of willpower so I'm sharing it with you fine people. Right now it's just at a beta stage, not tested with every trainer, so if you find bugs, please report them and I'll try to fix them.

Thanks, man. Glad you're enjoying it.

to me this mod actually balances the game more so you have to pick wisely such as do i want a new bow or do i want to train 3 levels in archery. It adds a sinse of pick and choose and investment that this exploit takes away in some cases. So all in all good job

In vanilla, when you pay for training, the money is added to that characters inventory to be stolen back immediately. This mod stops that from happening. Money spent on training is money lost.

So you pay for the training, and the money can be taken off them again? Or does it only apply to follower-trainers, like Faendal and Aela?
