Can someone help me make a basic script

[cody4camp]

I need to be able to open a shop by pressing a button near an npc, for example ctrl. how would i do it?

[Kimimaru]

I believe you would just set the NPC to a shopkeeper and then specify which shop number you want it to open using the NPC editor in-game.

Shopkeeper doesn't work.
Just have a scripted npc; here is the script:

Case X
  Call GoShopping(Index, ShopNumber)

Replace "X" with the case number, and "ShopNumber" with the shop's number.

If you're refering to the scripting then go to your Server folder, in the Script folder open Main.txt with Notepad.

i put the script in, and set my npc to scripted, but it wont do anything, ive tried clicking the npc, pressing ctrl on it, but nothing.

[Godlord]

Tried /testscripts yet in the chatbox?

says scripts are working properly. ive reloaded them and all. i have it as case 1 under scripted npc, and the npc is scripted and the script is set to 1.

[cody4camp]

i just need to know what sparks the action of a scripted npc? ctrl key doesnt do it.

```
' Executes whenever a scripted NPC does an action.
Sub ScriptedNPC(Index, Script)
Select Case Script
Case 0
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "Welcome to my store!.", WHITE)
Call GoShopping(Index, 1)
Exit Sub 

Case Else
        Call PlayerMsg(Index, "No NPC script found. Please contact an admin to solve this problem.", WHITE)

Exit Sub
End Select
End Sub

```

what if you make a scripted or shop tile in front of the npc. I forget which one you have to do.

[cody4camp]

the problem is i cannot find out which key activates the scripted npc

[Gwen]

if you use a scripted tile you dont need a key… you just step on the tile.

[Agoraphobic]

Your code is fine.
I. You need to set the npc to scripted npc script 0.
II. Make sure the npc has atleast 1 in every stat.
III. Create a currency.
IV. Use Shop tab to make a shop in 1 slot and select what he sells.

Walk up to him and press ctrl and it works (tested).

[cody4camp]

still isnt working for me, walking up and pressing ctrl does nothing  :icon_alabanza:

EDIT: i respawned map, that worked.
