Code:
// Shop- Oracles-style shop, where you must press A to buy the item. There is no confirmation message, though, so only press A if you want the item!
// Limtations are simply the fact that I can't use the D variables of any other FFCs besides the one this script is set on, thus only four items per shop,
// and the fact that you won't hold up the item when you buy it... But it's useful, regardless! The shop can be anywhere on the screen now! However, this
// means you'll need to waste a few combos to show the item and the price... But it's worth it. Also, think about this: This script means no more leaving and
// exiting a shop just to buy more than one item...;) Plus, there's more versatility with THIS script. No more wasting Shop Types. Now, one script does it
// all. Each FFC has its own per-screen D variable from 0 to 7. This script uses 0-3 for the items you buy, and 4-7 for their prices. The screen-specificness
// of the D variables adds to the versatility. For example, on one screen, you could set up a shop that sells the 3 Shields, while on another, the very same
// script sets you up a shop that sells Bombs. I made this because I didn't particularly like how Zelda Classic's Z1 shops are done.... Plus, my quest, Realm
// of Mirrors, needed Oracles-styled things... Anyways, have fun with this script! ~Matthew
// Constants:
// nerm- Weird name, yes, but... Message to use when you try to buy an item without the required amount of Rupees. "THAT AIN'T ENOUGH TO BUY!"
// D variables:
// item1- Variable D0. First item you can buy.
// item2- Variable D1. Second item you can buy.
// item3- Variable D2. Third item you can buy.
// item4- Variable D3. Fourth item you can buy.
// price1- Variable D4. Price of item1.
// price2- Variable D5. Price of item2.
// price3- Variable D6. Price of item3.
// price4- Variable D7. Price of item4.

Yes, Oracles-style. It's actually more of LttP-style, since you don't pick up the item you buy and take it to the shopkeeper... But anyways...
Just kidding. This is more versatile than normal shops. For starters, since I'm using the FFCs... You get to put your items anywhere you want. They don't even have to be right next to each other. Second, you get up to FOUR items in your shop! My original plan was to have that limit only be limited by the number of FFCs you could use...but I can't figure out how to access the D variables on other FFCs. If I could do THAT... Well, the script would be super-awesome. But oh well. Third, this one script, thanks again to the D variables, allows you to make MANY shops! Just one script is all that's needed. :) Now, how to work it...
Let me know if there's anything else you wish to know about this script...
