How do I make an equip button?

hey, i want to make a equip and buy button that makes the player wear the selected clothes (animation)

i have a button of two animations 1.buy button animation and 2.Equip button animation

now.. i want to make the buy button to store the selected animation and when the selected animation is already bought i want to change it to equip animation, the main thing i want to do is making the buy button to store the animation name.

I guess I would use a boolean variable BOUGHT

button boolean is Bought

set animation to equipped

else

set animation to buy

on button clicked

set boolean bought : true

Or is there something more specific going on here?

what do u mean by (button boolean is Bought)??

and there is so much animation ... its a ragdoll game so every part have more than 5 animations

and i have a preview for the animation. i want the buy button store the animation name that is on the preview

Ah.. there is more to the question..

It might have been easier to know that before..

Where are the buttons?

In a menu or in the same layout as the ragdoll?

I assume the name of the equipped animations should be stored in an instance variable on the right ragdoll part?

Would using an array work?

By the way..

"what do u mean by (button boolean is Bought)??"

create a new event

choose the button

choose "is boolean variable set"

event made..

the buttons are on a customization preview layout and i will try the instance variables.

what type of variable should i use ... num, boolean, text?

and i don't know how to use array very good .... i am an intermediate.

Depends..

do you want to use text, than you should use text

etcetera..

seeing you want to use an animation name, which I presume consists of text, text should be the right one..

For something like a switch or something that is just yes or no / right or wrong a boolean is well suited

num is for numbers as you probably understand..

ok i will give a try

should i make the

condition :

1.animation is (1)

2.buy button is pressed

action :

1.set instance variable (1) boolean to true

----------------------

condition :

instance variable (1) is true

action : ....?

i dont know what should i put the action can u help me with that?

I wouldn't do it that way because the second condition will allways be true right after the press, because C2 reads from top to bottom..

Using an else event would be a much better solution..

Regarding the action, what do you want to do?

When you know what you want to do it's much easier to tell the computer..

sorry cuz i am asking so much questions ... this is my first time doing this in a game... is the array better? if it is then how could i use it?

nothing is working :'( i need a solution pls
