My first shop, Please Help

[nickyb]

So I created my first shop for vendoring potions:

prontera,154,198,4<TAB>shop<TAB>Tall Boy Vendor<TAB>910,717:0,501:0,502:0,503:0,504:0,505:0

I saved this as vendor.txt. I then added the following line to scripts_custom.txt

npc: npc/custom/vendor.txt

But for some reason the script is not working. I have no problem getting regular npc scripts to work, but this is my first shop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What doesn't work?

[nickyb]

The vendor isn't in the game at the designated cords.

[Eroces]

It does show. Make sure the script is really in your npc\custom.

** Define a shop/cashshop NPC.

-%TAB%shop%TAB%<NPC Name>%TAB%<sprite id>,<itemid>:<price>{,<itemid>:<price>...}

<map name>,<x>,<y>,<facing>%TAB%shop%TAB%<NPC Name>%TAB%<sprite id>,<itemid>:<price>{,<itemid>:<price>...}

This will define a shop NPC, which, when triggered (which can only be done by

clicking) will cause a shop window to come up. No code whatsoever runs in shop

NPCs and you can't change the prices otherwise than by editing the script

itself. (No variables even exist at this point of scripting, so don't even

bother trying to use them.)

The item id is the number of item in the 'item_db.txt' database. If Price is set

to -1, the 'buy price' given in the item database will be used. Otherwise, the

price you gave will be used for this item, which is how you create differing

prices for items in different shops.

Since trunk r12264 you can alternatively use "cashshop" in place of "shop"

to use the Cash Shop interface, allowing you to buy items with special points

(Currently stored as account vars in global_reg #CASHPOINTS and #KAFRAPOINTS.)

This type of shop will not allow you to sell items at it, you may only

purchase items here. The layout used to define sale items still count, and

"<price>" refers to how many points will be spent purchasing the them.

You can always use shops within the shop.txt script to help you get a layout: https://rathena.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rathena/trunk/npc/pre-re/merchants/shops.txt

As Eroces mentioned, make sure that you've loaded your NPC correctly.

[nickyb]

Weird, the file is located in the npc/custom folder and I did spell the name of the file i'm calling correctly.

[Mystery]

Are you placing the root location to be loaded in your scripts_custom?

[nickyb]

I just have it like the rest of my scripts:

npc: npc/custom/vendor.txt

I even tried changing the cords and sprite just to see if it would produce something, but no dice.

Um.. maybe switch all your 0's into actual 1 to whatever amount of zeny. See if that works. Within a shop, I doubt you are allowed to make an item be 0z. =/ I think it has to be a minimum of 1z.

I took what i had and added it to the shops.txt file making it uniform to the rest of the code and it worked. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

Making it uniform by doing what exactly? Correcting spacing or something? o_O

Tested it. Setting the price to 0z is possible.

and use instead of 0 => -1 and set the item prices in item_db to 0
