Shop Selection

[shinji]

I have a problem. How do I make a shop that only the owner can buy from it? Only the owner can buy item from the shop, allies can't buy. How do I do that?

Ok. I'll try to do that. But the field is empty be defult. I don't think it will work...

*bump* I really need help on this. If I can't do this, it will screw my whole map.

I based the building off of Voodoo Lounge and removed the ability called "Shop Sharing". Now if I place the edited Voodoo Lounge ("Non-sharing Voodoo Lounge") and the default Voodoo Lounge side by side owned by an allied player, I am only able to buy from the default one.

So yeah, remove the Shop Sharing ability.

I'm going to try that now.

EDIT: It didn't work for me. The owner or allies can't buy items.

It worked for me. I am able to buy from both of my Voodoo Lounges (the non-sharing one and the default one) and I can buy only from the default Lounge of the AI allied player.

Without the Shop Sharing ability, you can't buy anything from the shop. It didn't work. I can't buy from my own shop.

Goddamit, you're right, sorry. I was tired.

I tried to use this trigger. But it doesn't work. If you set the items to "items sold" the shop will drop the items. I tried to move the items by this trigger. But it doesn't work. Any ideas?

I've tried making the player deselect the shop immediately if it isn't his. Unfortunately, it doesn't deselect fast enough and you can still buy.

I've tried removing the item from the inventory of the player if he bought from a shop that isn't his own, but I found no way to refund the cost since there's no function to retrieve item cost. There only way I see to do the refund is to set the Custom Item Value to the gold cost of the item. I've also heard you can use the HP of item or number of charges to store gold cost when refunding.
