Creating a Buy Command linked to all Objects

[mpalmer2140]

Hello,

I am supporting a student with their app development project where they are attempting to make a sort of jumpchain style story on Quest, textadventures.

We are wondering if there is a way to have this buy command apply to all the objects other than just the Divine Beauty object?

All the objects can be added to the inventory when they are bought but the the decrease in money will be different depending on the object.

We want the code to recognise the object being bought as well as recognising the value of the object being bought so this gets taken off the score?

There is a screenshot below of the current command script which works but only for the Divine Beauty object.

Thanks!

This is one way to do it in the online editor.
First add a value to all items you want to buy:

And in the new buy command substract this value:

Thanks for this, i've followed the screenshot but unfortunately all i'm getting after I click buy is

Error running script: Error compiling expression '': SyntaxError: Unexpected end of fileLine: 1, Column: 1

Could this be because I have a verb called buy?

could you plz post a screenshot of your error?

I've posted the error test on the live game and the code section.

Here is a better version of the buy command:

try it and when the error still appeaers, plz download your game and upload it here

Thank you!

It works, however, because the money status is set to 0 it just tells me I can't buy which makes sense. So i'll work out and alter the money the player starts with an test it again.

Again thank you for your help!
