Your weapons appear in the "Workspace" branch in the explorer tree.

To rename a weapon, right-click its name and type something unique (without spaces). Be descriptive!
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.
To do this, drag the mouse to select all three pieces, right-click the selected area, and then click Group. Call the group "NPC."
To do this, right-click Head and go to Insert > Object > dialog.
It's in the Properties section.
This goes into the initialprompt box.
Change it to something like, "May I browse your goods?"
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.

Step 13 Add a script into the dialog (not dialog choice).

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

Research source}. It should read:

local dialog = script.Parent.DialogChoiceSelected:connect(function(player, choice)
    -- Check the player has a stats object
    local stats = player: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 == script.Parent.DialogChoice.ChoiceA then
        if gold.Value >= 5 then -- 5 is the amount of gold you need to purchase this weapon
            game.ReplicatedStorage.Weapon1:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
            gold.Value = gold.Value - 5 -- subtract the amount of gold you need to purchase
        end
    elseif choice == dialog.DialogChoice.ChoiceB then
        if gold.Value >= 10 then
            game.ReplicatedStorage.Weapon2:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
            gold.Value = gold.Value - 10
        end
    elseif choice == dialog.DialogChoice.ChoiceC then
        if gold.Value >= 15 then
            game.ReplicatedStorage.Weapon3:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
            gold.Value = gold.Value - 15
        end
    end
end)

Your store is now ready to use.

No, your shop does not have to have clothing. Your shop can be whatever you want to! Just note, some users may want to see clothing and others may not.
