Rename the three weapons. To rename a weapon, right-click its name and type something unique (without spaces). Be descriptive! -
Make an NPC. NPCs are commonly made from bricks, countertops, or boxes, although you are free to use whatever you wish. If you decide to use bricks, make sure you've anchored the bricks in place. -

Select DialogChoice and change the UserDialog property value. Change it to something like, "May I browse your goods?" -

DialogChoiceSelected : connect ( function ( player , choice ) -- Check the player has a stats object local stats = player : FindFirstChild ( 'leaderstats' ) if not stats then return end -- And that the stats object contains a gold member local gold = stats : FindFirstChild ( 'Gold' ) if not gold then return end if choice == script . Parent . DialogChoice . ChoiceA then if gold . Value >= 5 then -- 5 is the amount of gold you need to purchase this weapon game . ReplicatedStorage . Weapon1 : Clone (). Parent = player . Backpack gold . Value = gold . Value - 5 -- subtract the amount of gold you need to purchase end elseif choice == dialog . DialogChoice . ChoiceB then if gold . Value >= 10 then game . ReplicatedStorage . Weapon2 : Clone (). Parent = player . Backpack gold . Value = gold . Value - 10 end elseif choice == dialog . DialogChoice . ChoiceC then if gold . Value >= 15 then game .
