Basic shopping system?
Something I've been meaning to implement to my Mario mod, Pasta Power, for the longest time has been a menu where you exchange items for the coins you collect from fallen enemies. Sadly, I haven't seen any good template or anything on this site so far, even after searching online briefly. The type of system I'm trying to replicate is akin to D4D's shop, which brings up an external menu which you can buy specific things such as upgrades from. Does anyone have a basic script example of this? Because I have a lot of the shop-exclusive items already defined, but don't know how to make like a separate keybind to bring up a menu where you can exchange things for the currency the player has.
Re: Basic shopping system?
There are a few ways to do this.
You could use the Strife dialog system for UDMF, though I don't know how well this will work and if it even can be opened with a binding.
Or create a custom menu in ZScript. ZForms makes this way easier, but you will either have to have the newest GZDoom master or use the newest master of ZForms.
