New page

This is an introduction to setting up a store page - the page will be updated as we add new features to make this more flexible. In this example, there are 2 weapon upgrades to buy.

==Set up the Weapon Variable==

In the [[Level Editor|Level Editor]], select [[Custom Variables|Custom Variables]] from the [[Define Menu|Define Menu]] and select ''Create New''. Set the name, type and initial value:

[[File:StoreCV.png|link=]]

You can also set up a variable for coins held in the same way.

==Create a Store Page in the Front End Editor==

In the [[Front-End Editor|Front-End Editor]], select a page for the storefront (in this example I have used the ''Level Complete'' page which is displayed after every level).

Add text or sprites for the items to buy - in this case, 2 weapon options

[[File:StorePage.png|link=]]

Set the OnClick action to change the Custom variable, in this case to 1 for the red weapon and 2 for orange:

[[File:StoreClickable.png|link=]]

We are adding the option to have more than one action on click, so you will be able to subtract an amount from the coins variable too.

You can set colours for highlighted/selected options in the

[[File:StoreProperties.png|link=]]

==Set the Player Properties==

Add weapons to Player Weapon Slot 2 and 3, and set them to be Disabled:

[[File:StoreWeaponSlots.png|link=]]

Select ''Upgrade'' in the [[Define Menu|Define Menu]] and select ''Create New''. Create 2 upgrades, one for each weapon option in the store, and set them to enable the weapon slots (in this example, the other weapon is disabled too):

[[File:StoreUpgrade.png|link=]]

Add [[Actions Tab|Actions]] to the player for ''Variable Equals'' events that trigger the upgrades:

[[File:StoreActions.png|link=]]

The ship will now upgrade to the new weapons if they are selected in the store. You can show remaining coins in the [[HUD Editor|HUD]].
