Virtual Shop quantity...

[SirChick]

Ok i have a shop on my website (non real) where by as you earn money you buy items etc. The code works well but i want to have a counter so the admin of the site decides how many of the items are available. So for example, if a new "rare" item came to the shop and the admin sets the quantity to one. Then only one person gets it and the first one who can afford it, buys it. Then once they have bought it, itll tell the other users the quantity in stock = 0 thus disabling the ability to buy it. This would help me for getting more "rare" items in to the game cos atm there is no quantity and so any one can buy it which kinda reduces the rareity once more people have puchased it.

[b][u]The code for the shop is this:[/u]

***let me know if you know how to do this thanks! :)***

[SirChick]

So is this possible ?

[icoGreg]

The script will reload and reinitialize the variables everytime some comes to you website. If you store the quantity remaining in a Database or read/write to file, you will be able to save the 'quantity remaining' variable and reload it from there. I wouldn't think you could hard code it into the JScript because it will then reinitialize to whatever that number is every time someone loads it. You have to read the quanitity from some source external from your JS file.
