To rename a weapon, right-click its name and type something unique (without spaces). Be descriptive!
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/ad\/6225468-4.jpg\/v4-460px-6225468-4.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/ad\/6225468-4.jpg\/aid6225468-v4-728px-6225468-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>Image by: Uploader<br>\nLicense: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

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.

{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/45\/6225468-8.jpg\/v4-460px-6225468-8.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/45\/6225468-8.jpg\/aid6225468-v4-728px-6225468-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>Image by: Uploader<br>\nLicense: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

It's in the Properties section.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/ff\/6225468-9.jpg\/v4-460px-6225468-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/ff\/6225468-9.jpg\/aid6225468-v4-728px-6225468-9.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>Image by: Uploader<br>\nLicense: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

This goes into the initialprompt box.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/cd\/6225468-10.jpg\/v4-460px-6225468-10.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/cd\/6225468-10.jpg\/aid6225468-v4-728px-6225468-10.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>Image by: Uploader<br>\nLicense: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Change it to something like, "May I browse your goods?"
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/c6\/6225468-12.jpg\/v4-460px-6225468-12.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c6\/6225468-12.jpg\/aid6225468-v4-728px-6225468-12.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>Image by: Uploader<br>\nLicense: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Set the ResponseDialog property to "Sure!" Then, insert three "DialogChoices" into the "DialogChoice" we just made. Rename them from their defaults and set their UserDialog properties to the names of the weapons.

{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/47\/6225468-13.jpg\/v4-460px-6225468-13.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/47\/6225468-13.jpg\/aid6225468-v4-728px-6225468-13.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>Image by: Uploader<br>\nLicense: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Now you can add the lua code for your script. ^{[1]

 local 
 dialog

 . 
 Parent 
 .

 local 
 stats

 : 
 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

 . 
 Parent

 elseif

 elseif
