Uh my suggestion is you could create a list Called inventory and a variable called on hand the list will store everything the player has and the on hand vaiable will store what the player is holding i suppose you could do the coding part i just told the theory part

Try checking out my game's shop, it shows the buying options when the backdrop switches to the shop background, and using variables, you can use them as upgrades and such. If you have enough currency, it will buy and you won't be able to buy it again: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/611824419
Instead of pressing keys, you click the icons. Take a look at the code. Hope that helps!

Yeah, I think a list would work best when buying/selling items, an index variable could be useful as well. I've used lists for shops before and they work quite well, if you don't have much knowlege on lists, you could try just using different variables for each sprite. If you need some coding examples ask me!

here's my script (yes I used yt)

when green flag clicked
show
switch costume to [costume1 v]
forever
if <<<touching [mouse-pointer v] ?> and <mouse down?>><> and <<(money) > [10]> or <(money) = [10]>> then
change [ thing player wants to buy] by (1)
change [ money] by (-10)
end

if you want to make it sold out use the script and just add

broadcast [sold out v]

when I receive [sold out v]
forever
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
end

hope this helps

how do I make it so that it records what I bought when I did, like should I use the “Make clone of myself” block or what should I do?

Thank you I am making a clicker

Please dont necropost!
(This means posting on a topic that was made a long time ago)

Good luck with your game. Because it’s confusing when people add a reply for help to someone else’s existing topic it’s just better to avoid doing that.

Usually people use variables to keep track of purchases but if you will share your project, make your own topic and post a link to your project then you’ll get the best help with your question.
