you could use tags.
have the 'use shop #--' tag on the first text box. then set a tag so that the next time you talk to the guy, a new text box comes up. then do the same thing until the 4 or 5th text box.
i dunno if you can understand that clear enough, if you need more help ill try and describe more.

Use a global variable. Something like this:
| Code: | global variable (1,var)
script,shop,begin
if (var<=4) then
begin
increment (var,1)
use shop (?) #shop number
end
else (?) #whatever you want to happen after 4 times
end |
run this from the shop npc

Change
if (var<=4) then
to
if (var<<4) then
and then change the '4' to how ever many times you want the shop to be available.

Variable is ok! You talked 4 times to the shop keeper and then another text box appear.
Could somoene give details with the tags ? I don't understand very well. Does such an operation suppose that you should use 4 tags ?
I think it would be a good idea to make it clear!
Thanks in advance! |

Basically, what you want is this: (I adapted Leo's script)
| Code: | global variable (1,shop used)
script,shop,begin
if (shop used<=4) then
begin
increment (shopused,1)
use shop (shop:my shop) #shop number
end
else
begin
show text box (667) #shopkeeper: fug off
end
end |
Later, if you want to make the shop available again, use a script like this:
| Code: | script,reset shop, begin
shop used:= 0
end |
If you THEN want to make the shop available forever, you need to be more devious:
| Code: | script, perma reset shop, begin
shop used:= -1
end
#this is the first script, but changed around
#it will not increment "shop used" if it == -1
script,shop,begin
if (shop used<=4) then
begin
if (shop used > -1) then (increment (shopused,1))
use shop (shop:my shop) #shop number
end
else
begin
show text box (667) #shopkeeper: fug off
end
end |

There are no tags involved. If you already have other global variables, change the id number of the global 'var' (or in pkmnfrk's version, 'shop used')
