So in my clicker game, you can buy any upgrade infinitely with enough points. I'm trying to figure out how to make it so that you can only get it once.
Code (number values vary):

So that wouldn't work because the script will turn off already without the “stop this script” block, and will reactivate when the sprite is clicked. Depending on how many upgrades you have, I would label them with numbers and create a list to see if its already been bought.

Now you can have this on all your upgrades and you don't need a ton of variables

Here’s a better version and why: (common mistake i see)

Revised version:

This isn't what he wanted. He wanted a upgrade that could only be bought once

“I'm trying to figure out how to make it so that you can only get it once”

You making it possible for it to be bought more than once

Oh.

Then a list wouldn’t be necessary, only a variable. When the flag is clicked, set it to 0 (unless you wont reset everyone’s progress when flag clicked) and when item bought, set variable to 1.

This script should make it possible for it to only be bought once

The thing is, depending on how many upgrades there are, a list would hold all of them in one spot while on the other hand if you used variables you would need like 10 for 10 upgrades which could get chaotic

Thank you so much!
