I created a menu to buy items, it is as follows...

+ Code Snippet

if buymenu=0
  if scancode()=48
    buymenu=1
    tigger=1
  endif
endif

if buymenu=1
paste image 1001,600,300
set cursor 630,360: Print "press 1 to buy a mining vessel"
set cursor 681,322: print "BUY MENU"

`let them get their finger off the button, first!
if tigger=1 then wait 200 : tigger=0

if scancode()=48 then buymenu=0 : wait 200
endif

for miners=80 to 85
if buymenu=1 and scancode()=2
show object miners
money(0)=money(0)-500
set cursor 500,500: print "mining vessel purchased"
endif
next miners

In the last bit, the player's money resource is supposed to go down by 500, however it does not stop going down, I want it to only subtract 500 from the Money(0) variable, but not keep doing it, but only once evertime the button is pressed. What should I do to make this happen?

Guns arn't the problem, people are the problem, shoot all the people and guns arn't a problem anymore.

Let me guess, in total, it subtracts 2500.

I think this is because of the "For miners=80 to 85" statement.
it keeps looping this without changing either the buymenu variable or the scancode variable, therefore it will loop the whole code causing it to subtract money continuously.

Hope this helps

Life is like a coffee revel, you get chewed up and spat back out. (Especially by some people on this forum!)
