in zzt, what code do i use to make shops?

It depends on the type of shop you want. Some just have objects that you touch to buy. For example, a pile of ammo:

#end
:touch
It's some ammo.
!a1;Buy 10 ammo for 5 gems
!a2;Buy 25 ammo for 10 gems
#end
:a1
#take gems 5 #cantafford
#give ammo 10
You buy some.
#end
:a2
#take gems 10 #cantafford
#give ammo 25
You buy some.
#end
:cantafford
You can't afford that!
#end

To change the item type, you just modify or replace the #give statement. Other shops have you go up to the front counter to buy goods. The counter code might look something like this:

Code: Select all

#end
:touch
SHOPKEEPER: Hello! Want to buy something?

!a1;Buy 10 ammo for 5 gems
!a2;Buy 25 ammo for 10 gems
!t1;Buy 1 torch for 1 gem
!t2;Buy 5 torches for 4 gems
!h1;Buy 10 health for 20 gems
!h2;Buy 20 health for 35 gems
#end
:a1
#take gems 5 #cantafford
#give ammo 1
You buy some.
#end
:a2
#take gems 10 #cantafford
#give ammo 25
You buy some.
#end
:t1
#take gems 1 #cantafford
#give torches 1
You buy some.
#end
:t2
#take gems 4 #cantafford
#give torches 5
You buy some.
#end
:h1
#take gems 20 #cantafford
#give health 10
You buy some.
#end
:h2
#take gems 35 #cantafford
#give health 20
You buy some.
#end
:cantafford
You can't afford that!
#end

There are other variants of shops, too. If any of this code doesn't make sense, I would advise going into the editor, pressing H, and reading the tutorial. You can also get some programmng help by going to the main page and clicking on "help/faq", and you can always post in the Z2 fora if you need help on a specific problem. Don't get discouraged, and good luck in the ZZT community!

...Also, in '<td width="100%" height="100%" />', you don't need the forward slash or the preceding space.
