Script 'Variable Prices' line 423: NoMethodError occured
undefined method `price' for nil:NilClass
I get what the error means, but Im not sure how to fix it...
So here is the script I'm using...
SDK.log('Advanced Shop', 'Reaper_Phoenix', 1.00, '27-02-2010')
if SDK.state('Advanced Shop') == true
# Advanced Shop script by Reaper Phoenix
# Not much of a script, but I wanted to be able to get different prices at
# different shops. I can't find one in the net so I modified the standard
# shop scripts (Window_ShopBuy and Scene_Shop).
#
# You need to set a variable in the game to tell the script what the merchant
# thinks of you.
#
# VARIABLES value :
# 1 - Great discount and selling price
# 2 - Good discount and selling price
# 3 - A little discount and selling price is slightly higher than normal
# 4 - Normal
# 5 - Price is slightly higher than normal and selling price is slightly lower than normal
# 6 - Price is much higher than normal and not much of a seling price
# 7 - Twice the normal buying price and bad selling price
# 8 - Three times the normal buying price and the worst selling price
#
# You have to set the variable before you call the shop processing screen
# Say you call the variable "Price" and its ID is 2
# The event command would look somewhat like this :
# @>Control Variables: [0002: Price] = 1
# @>Shop Processing: [Bronze Sword]
#
# If the Bronze Sword normaly cost 500 and sell at 250, it now cost 333 and
# sells at 325
#
# Replace the variable ID number in the script with the one you're using
# It's in line 110, 330 and 415
# I think someone can make a better one, but if you can't find any you're free
# to use this.

The game crashes when I try to sell a null object... Could someone explain Briefly to me how I can fix some of these types of errors myself? The logic is starting to make sense, but I'm not too familiar with the language, or what it expects when it throws errors like that...
