Issues with setting up shop prices
Hey, I have basically no experience coding and was trying my hand at the shop prices. I've basically copied the examples in the "ValuesAndPrices" file with Canned Corn as a test item to buy. But I can't get it working, any chance you could tell me where I'm going wrong?

{
title = "CannedCorn",
id = "Base.CannedCorn",
prices = {
["cash_primary"] = 5,
},
amount = 1,
},

I just copy and pasted the "Stack of money" option above and changed values, it also won't allow me to purchase "Money" from vending machines either which I assumed would work as its the main example.

Any help would be appreciated.

As a side note I'm also experiencing errors when right clicking any vending machine or using /pricelist in a vehicle shop zone.

I can post either or both error logs if you'd like to see them.

getting errors when interacting with the pricelist and shop and not getting anything out of them means a very good chance that you have a formatting error in your pricelist. check all the commas and brackets first. the example in itself works 100% so check what you wrote in the file, especially the commas.

Thanks for the quick reply, I've just tested uploading the unedited version of the "ValuesAndPrices" file. Much like before I am unable to purchase 'Money' from vending machines and right clicking then still returns an error, the same can be said for /pricelist.

The commas and brackets seem fine in both the default example file (Which still returns errors) and my edited version. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.

Well, I seem to have it in a working state currently. Thanks for the help regardless.

The only issue that seems to persist is the vehicle shop, It's almost certainly just me misunderstanding how to set it up.

If I set a vending machine up outside It'll tell me "You are not in a vehicle shop area." if I define the area as a vehicle shop area using the sandbox options then right clicking the vending machine results in an error and no new options.

i was asleep.

i can assure you the shop file in its usual state, freshly taken from the example, works 100% - i tested it after your report.

as for the errors you posted and deleted: they both relate to malformed shop coordinates in the sandbox settings instead of a malformed price list.

the shop area has to be set up with 2 coordinates and they have to be written like this: a;b;c
some people used commas here and got the same errors. double check if they are correct. as staff member you should then be able to use the command "/areas on" to show the result. if errors continue springing up you need to check the area settings.

The coordinates were the issue, just popped in game and it worked like a charm. I just defaulted to writing coordinates as a,b,c as you said, thanks for all the help.
