I'm wondering, can you run common events when the player buys something at a shop? I'm not sure because I haven't made one in my game yet. I'm still getting all the sounds, and stuff in place. Filling out the database. I'm wondering because I'm going to create an item that increases all stats a little, but it's essentially a stone that once touched evaperates in the hand.

I was going to run a comman event saying the the shop keep passes the player the stone wrapped in some fine cloth as to not touch it himself.

-- Just realized this would be hard ---

anyone got a solution? lol

Don't think you could do it by default.
There may be a custom shop script that would allow you to call common events when you perform a certain action, but don't know.

On the other hand, there are some indirect ways to solve the problem, assuming the conditions are correct.

For example, if the item is only obtainable from a shop (or even, THAT shop), then you could always create an event in the same map running parallel with the following commands



So once you buy it and you exit the shop menu, it would appear that the shopkeeper is telling you not to touch it.

Note that this only really works if the item is not already in your inventory when you enter the shop, and would only work if you obtain the item while you're in the shop (ie: you bought it). If you could get it elsewhere, the event would be triggered once you enter the shop, which makes it silly.

Im pretty sure you can...

set the common event too trigger after the player has received the "Item+1 then "Turn off"

you'd be better off setting a parallel process with the "shop run" event that alters shopkeepers goodbye message after buying items


oh... @Tsukihime

Is the "item + 1" condition provided or something we have to script ourselves.

hmm. This is something I'm going to have to play around with. I'm not sure I understand this talk just yet, lol.
