Okay, my little brother has experienced trouble with a part of my game where leaving a shop (by pressing SPACE or CTRL on the option 'leave') immediatelly reactivates the NPC and goes back to the shop. These are NOT normal shops, they are plotscripted. I don't see this behavior on my computer very much, might have something to do with speed of computer? Anyway, I have a script that the NPC triggers that sets up the shop. Would the following be the correct way to handle the situation?:

Code:

plotscript, Enter Shop, whichmenu=0, begin

if(keyval(key:space)>>1, or, same for CTRL and ENTER),then
  begin    #THIS IS WHAT I AM CONSIDERING ADDING, BASED ON PLOTDICT

suspendplayer
suspendnpcs
gShop:=whichmenu
variable(i)
i:=openmenu(whichmenu)
get menuitem caption(first menuitem(i),5)  #string 5 is the shop name!!!
closemenu(i)
swtextbox(177)   #WELCOME TO SHOP
i:=openmenu(menu:EnterShop)
set menuitem caption(first menuitem(i),5)
show money string

  end   #END OF NEW IF

end

Yes, that's the way to use it. Just try it and see if it works. keyval doesn't really have any other use, and we should probably provide a wrapper, named... I hate this bit.

Well if the bit were just one position to the right, we wouldn't need a wrapper!
