Creating Shop Items

Creating new items for players to purchase from the shop is an easy process.

All shop items are stored in a folder called Data Items as data. These are scripts that do nothing but have properties about the shop item.

Data Items

Expand the Perk - Resource Shop folder and take a look in the Data Items folder.

In here you will see the current resources that have been setup for the example.

Create Perk

Create your perk for the shop item.

Tip

Make sure to deinstance the template so you can modify it.

Add a new copy of the Perk_Resource_Shop_Item_Data script to the Data Items folder. This script has various properties we can set to setup the new shop item.

Property Name	Description
resource_key	This is the key that will be used for the resource. So for example, if you want to sell Iron, then this value should be whatever the Iron resource key is for your game.
resource_amount	The amount the player will get per purchase.
resource_perk	The perk for this item.
resource_image	The image that will be displayed in the shop for this item.

So in the example video below, I create a new shop item so that the player can purchase Apples.

Now enter player mode and test out to see if your new shop item shows up.

Tip

Don't forget to set the shop_height property.
