Making a shop
So you want to let the player buy things, huh? Well, there's one way you can do it: using the fancy thing called reputation:

quest_list version
  1. Make a Talker that you will not use to give quests. It would look weird for your shop to do both.
  2. Create a dialogue to access quest_list on your merchant.

  3. Create quests on the merchant that have a reputation requirement. The reputation will be your currency.
    Make sure the quests are repeatable and that you have set up the rewards properly.
  4. Set the quest to give whatever you want to sell (either as a task or a reward).
  5. Add a timer task in the quest that is 0 seconds long and completes the quest when it ends.

  6. Set the quest reward to remove reputation equal to the price you want to sell for. Note: you can only remove up to 999 reputation, so make multiple removes if you need more.
    https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2882544736
  7. That's it! Your shop should now work. Test him out and see how it goes. Make sure to reset the blacklist.

quest_by_id version
This is similar to quest_list version but allows you to categorize your shop items.
  1. Make a Talker that you will not use to give quests. If your talker is going to give quests, then you will have to use the same quest_by_id tactic to emulate quest_list.
  2. Create quests on the merchant that have a reputation requirement. The reputation will be your currency.
    Make sure the quests are repeatable and that you have set up the rewards properly.
  3. Set the quest to give whatever you want to sell (either as a task or a reward).
  4. Add a timer task in the quest that is 0 seconds long and completes the quest when it ends.

  5. Set the quest reward to remove reputation equal to the price you want to sell for. Note: you can only remove up to 999 reputation, so make multiple removes if you need more.

  6. Create a dialogue tree with the categories and purchases you want, with quest_by_id pointing to your purchases.

  7. That's it! Your shop should now work. Test him out and see how it goes. Make sure to reset the blacklist.

I believe the shop in that one is based on quest items. I should see if there's a way to track quest items like money, but I don't think it'd work.

the "shop" in the video enables certain dialogue lines after you collect items

By not making him a quest-giver.

You can't currently, but any quests that you don't have enough reputation for will show up greyed out.
