CreateShop

Makes a shop - a title, whether it buys, its purse.

Empty until SetShopItem fills it. sellFactor is the fraction of an item’s catalogue price the shop pays when a player sells (0.5 = half its worth; 0, the default, = it buys nothing and the screen has no Sell tab). money is the purse in Groschen it pays out of (nil or a negative number = bottomless); what the players buy fills it. Put it on an actor with SetActorShop or open it with OpenShop.

Syntax

CreateShop(title [, sellFactor, money])

Parameter	Type
title	string	the screen’s title
sellFactor	number	0 .. 1 (0: buys nothing) (optional)
money	number	the purse in Groschen; nil = bottomless (optional)

Returns

number - the shop’s id; nil when it could not be made

Example

local store = CreateShop("General store", 0.5, 500)
SetShopItem(store, "torch_weapon", 5)             -- unlimited torches at 5 Groschen
