Shops

Shops are versioned definitions in the RPG Database. They reference authored Items and Currencies rather than storing unrelated copies of their data.

Authoring a Shop

1. Create the Items and Currency used by the Shop.
2. Open the Shops panel in RPG Database.
3. Create a Shop with a stable ID and display name.
4. Add its stock and pricing entries.
5. Save the definition.
6. Use the supported Shop-opening Action from a Dialogue or Interaction Action sequence.

Runtime transactions

The player-facing Shop screen supports buying and selling while respecting:

• Current Currency balance
• Currency minimum and maximum
• Item stack limits
• Item ownership
• Accepted Shop definitions and references

Buying and selling are atomic. A failed transaction does not remove Currency without adding the Item, or remove an Item without granting the sale value.

Use Conditions around the Shop-opening Action when a merchant should only be available at a certain point in the project.
