Is there a way to tell whether you bought or didn't buy something at a shop if you use shop processing? I'd like this so that the shopkeeper would say something if you: didn't buy anything, didn't have enough money, or bought a particular item. I know you could do it with switches if it was a one of a kind item, but what if it's not.
It should all be quite possible with variables set before and after the shop processing as well as condition branches.
Set Variable [before] -> Game Data / Gold or Game Data / Item in inventory
Shop Processing
Set Variable [After] -> Same as before.
Conditional branch comparing Before and After and changing the dialogue based on which circumstances you want. You can set multiple before and after variables if you want to check for various things at the same time.
That's probably the easiest way, but not the most accurate.
If you have more gold after the shop screen, it could indicate that you only sold something, or it could be that you bought something and sold something, and the item you sold was worth more than the item you bought.
If you have less gold after the shop screen, it could indicate that you only bought something, or it could be that you both bought and sold, and that the item you bought was worth more than the gold you got from selling.
If you have the same amount after the shop screen, it could indicate that you didn't buy or sell anything, or that you both bought and sold, for the same amount.
To be certain, you'd have to allocate switches which would be turned off at the beginning of the shop screen, then turned on after a buy or sell transaction, and you'd have to check the switches afterwards. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to make something like that.
Edit: In fact, here you go. Make sure you change the 1 and 2 for the switch numbers on the first couple of lines, and preferably name those switches so you don't accidentally use them for anything else.
Code:
class Scene_Shop < Scene_MenuBase #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Set the following constants to the id of the switches that will be turned # on after buying and selling #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUY_SWITCH = 1 SELL_SWITCH = 2 #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Prepare #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- alias shaz_shop_notice_prepare prepare def prepare(goods, purchase_only) shaz_shop_notice_prepare(goods, purchase_only) $game_switches[BUY_SWITCH] = false $game_switches[SELL_SWITCH] = false end #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Execute Purchase #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- alias shaz_shop_notice_do_buy do_buy def do_buy(number) shaz_shop_notice_do_buy(number) $game_switches[BUY_SWITCH] = true end #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Execute Sale #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- alias shaz_shop_notice_do_sell do_sell def do_sell(number) shaz_shop_notice_do_sell(number) $game_switches[SELL_SWITCH] = true endend

Merged. Please stick with a single thread for your issue, since the two are closely related.
If you want to know if they bought a particular item, you would have to use Rachael's original suggestion - put the number of those items on hand into a variable, do the shop processing, put the number of those items on hand into a second variable, then compare the two.
The "didn't have enough money" is more complicated, since a shop can stock half a dozen different items, and you might be able to afford 3 of them, but the developer would have no way of knowing which of the 6 items the player might WANT to purchase, and they could ATTEMPT to buy the other 3 items and get the buzzer, so a "didn't have enough money" wouldn't specify a particular item either.
If it's a shopkeeper with only one item and you want a different message if they don't have enough money, I just skip the shop processing altogether, have the NPC ask if you'd like the item, and add conditional branches and choices depending on whether there's enough money or not.
Because I merged the two threads (as indicated by my saying "Merged" ).
Post 1 and post 4 are yours, asking pretty much the same question. You still haven't said if the script I provided less than half an hour after you originally asked, does the job or not.
Sorry I know I'm way late, life got busy for awhile and I forgot to answer this. The script works and will be useful. I did want it to do 2 more things though. Check what specific items you bought or sold, and also if you try to buy something too expensive set a switch and exit shop processing with the ability to enable and disable this. If keeping track of all items bought and sold is too much then maybe just checking if a particular item has been bought or a particular one sold. I don't know how much is actually possible in RM, so I may not know what I'm asking.
so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most.
