Dynamic Shop System
04-23-2009
SummaryThe idea for this script revolves around 3 key features, and when it all comes together,
the idea is to have shops that change their stock and only carry limited quantities.
As good an idea it is to carry 99 of every type of potion with you,
I hate the fact that you can buy them all at once.
Also, it would be nice to find something interesting in the inventory every so often.
In the end, this will basically cause the player to revisit shops they've already been to,
either because they're curious to see if there's a new rare item, or because they need
to stock up on potions like the
little wuss hero they are.
Features Desired
- 1. Change basic inventory depending on location (these could probably be handled by the default shop processing event, since it asks)
- 2. Stock items in quantities, randomly gaining or losing stock as time passes (like every hour or something).
- 3. Occasionally stocking a bonus (substantially more rare) item for sale.
- 4. (additional feature that would rock, but isn't important) Items you sell to a shop become their stock (which is lost after feature 2 occurs)
Features UNdesired
- 1. Mercantile/Bartering
- 2. Item Categories.

Great request!
I could've sworn I have seen a script like this, but I cannot find it for the life of me. The closest I could find is:
http://www.freewebs.com/yeyindedev/shop_system.html
and I'm not sure what features it has because I have not tested it out or anything.
EDIT::
Looking at it now, I don't think it does anything you asked for. I'll keep looking. Was it made by Astral? or something...
Someone made a script like this a VERY long time ago. I may still have this somewhere. Only thing it can't do is stock rare items.
Fair enough. I can just make a "Rare Items" sort of choice in the conversation branch for shopkeepers like:
`_________________

EDIT:
If you could find that script for me, Falcon, that would be great. ;D
I'll keep digging around in the meantime. :)
Sorry, it looks like I can't find the script on my PC.
Aw, bummer... :'(
Thanks for looking, though. :)
I'll just have to keep searching.
