I'm not sure how hard this will be to implement, just a heads-up there.

So, what I'm requesting is a script snippet that will force the player to spend all their money before being allowed to leave the shop scene.

So, only when they have 0 currency can they leave that scene.

I know I could do this by eventing, but it would be pretty awkward since I'll be using this store a lot in the game.

I don't mind if this replaces the default shop scene - in fact, I'd prefer it.

So, if anyone can help with this, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks for your time if you read this!

This is about as basic as it gets. Set the string to whatever you need it to be.

class Scene_Shop < Scene_MenuBase
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * RETURN TO PREVIOUS SCENE
  # Aborts the method if the player has gold. Otherwise, calls the normal
  # "return_scene" method found in Scene_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def return_scene
    if $game_party.gold > 0
      @help_window.set_text("You must spend all of your gold before you can leave.")
      Sound.play_buzzer
      @command_window.activate
      return
    end
    super
  end
end

Ah, thank you! This should make things a lot easier. I thought it might be a simple thing to do but you can never tell without actually knowing what you'd have to change/refer to.

Thanks again! ^.^)b

Ah, seems to be an issue. >.<;
Crashes on start-up with this error message.
"Script 'ForceSell Shop' line 12: SyntaxError occurred.
unexpected $end, expecting keyword_end
end"

I tried adding another 'end' at the bottom but that didn't work. >.<

I edited my post before I saw your response. The version in my post should work without issue.

Now there's a new error instead:
"Script 'ForceSell Shop' line 1: TypeError occurred
superclass mismatch for class Scene_Shop"

>.<;

Ah, nevermind - it was supposed to be Scene_MenuBase instead of Scene_Base. ^.^;

Thanks again~

Now it hangs on the denial message. ;.;

...Because I'm a dunce. Scene_Shop serves Scene_MenuBase, not Scene_Base. Corrected.

Thank you, but now it freezes on the denial. If I try to leave without paying it just freezes after showing the message. >.<;

Sorry for being troublesome! :<

One last amendment, then! I didn't pass priority back to the command window like I should have. You're keeping me on my toes today.

My games don't have shops. I don't... do shops.

Ah, perfect! That works a treat~

Thank you for helping me out and 'doing the shop thing'. (And especially for the extra support in making this work.) I really do appreciate it. If you find yourself needing any RTP edits or mapping help, feel free to PM me. I'll gladly help out!

@Liberty: Can I ask why you would ever, ever want this feature in your game? I'm actually really intrigued by the concept of a shop that won't let you leave until it's sucked you dry of every last piece of gold.

The game is basically a dungeon crawler and it's just you and a merchant. At the start you strike a deal with him - he'll keep you supplied but he gets all the money you find through your travels.

It was just an idea I had to get around chests that just happen to have loot. I wanted to try something a little different - sort of like a 'choose your own loot' thing. So you buy the loot you want from the merchant. Items you sell - old armour/weapons and enemy drops - will unlock more items, armour and weapons from him, too.

I still need to find a good shop limitation script (so that the amount of his goods depends on you supplying him with certain items that enemies drop) but I know there's at least one that already exists.

I'm just experimenting with this idea and so far I think it works well. It's not going to be a long game.
