Shop Example Script

[Dunstan]

You can create a more graphical shop script and a more graphical directory by using the third parameter in "guibutton" and the second parameter in "guitext". It determines the icon, which is in front of your text. You can create 128x128 PNG images of the things your shop offers, and put it in a directory data/hud/xxx/icons/inventory. Then you can use these images like this:

Code: Select all

guitext ( format "You have %1 moneys in your wallet." $money ) "inventory/money.png"

or:

Code: Select all

           guibutton "Pie: 10 moneys" [
              if ( > $money 9 ) [
                 money = ( - $money 10 )
                 pie = ( + $pie 1 )
              ]
           ] "inventory/pie.png"

To determine xxx, which is the version of hud (which means heads up display, I think) you are using, try to use the modified script. If Sandbox doesn't find the images you specified, it gives an error message, which contains the full path to the icons directory.
You can also use these options to display the face of the character, who is talking to you:

Code: Select all

guitext "What're ya buyin, stranger?" "chars/shopkeeper.png"

You can modify the gui, you know, such as adding your own icons and stuff... If that helps.

That is exactly what I wrote, although my intention was to amend the original, not to create a new one. It is not so difficult, so a beginner can also use it, and it will make the game nicer.

I have to say, that's pretty nifty. Good work.

Well, I mean you can create your own icons, not pulling up certain ones that are already there... like you could make a chicken icon if you needed to whereas the guis don't normally have one. But yeah, I think we're on the same page.

It seems, the authors have thought about it as well: in the hud/2.3 there are robochimp and ogre icons. So, if you use an ogre as shopkeeper, put "ogre" in place of "chat", like this:

Code: Select all

guitext "What're ya buyin, stranger?" ogre

Very Nice script why we not make a Anial Crossing like Tom nook?
This will be nice for kids.
Or lets make a mod for PAS Like Dopewars but in 3D and with a Big sized City

Scry for my English XD

Great help Leo.
I've DL the EasyScriptBuilder, and I had a little problem making the script for the first time until I read this thread

just keep in mind there's a 25 word limit, the command is the first so you can provide up to 24 additional arguments

Ahhh, thanks for clearing that up
