Setting up shop system (solved)

Hi all, I'm trying to set up a shop in my game and I'm running into some problems refusing sales if the player doesn't have enough credits.

Probably an obvious solution but it IS 1.30am and I'm knackered... <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Posting a .capx would make answering your question possible, as you can do this in million ways and we have no idea how you've approached it... :)

Here is one way:

You probably got variable money on player object.

on buy event

player.money > item.price

.. buy

else

.. play not enough money sound or something

Thanks for the reply! However, after a decent night's sleep I managed to figure it out. Basically the game checks if the global variable "Credits" is greater or equal to 100-shiphealth, and if so it does the repair. If not, it displays an error message.

Cheers though! <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
