[Eventing Question] Spending Ticket-Items via script choices? How do I get vending machines to exchange tickets for your choice from a set of 6 Pokemon?

[SuperSpyroDragon64]

I have coded a PokeTicket item, it's expensive and it goes in the item pocket when bought. I've got the Vending Machines looking right, but how do I script them?

My goal is to create a vending machine for Pokemon, with six different Pokemon available. It will give you a choice of those six, and then trade one of your PokeTickets for a Pokeball containing your chosen Pokemon. It should also let you cancel and walk away after showing you what's on offer. And if you lack any PokeTickets, you are told to come back when you have more PokeTickets.

I know how to add Pokemon to the player via script, but how do I program this "Pokemon for PokeTicket" transaction?

You don't need to script this. It can be an event.

I've got the Vending Machine items looking right, and I have blank events upon them. What do I put in the event to make them work?

You need to erase the item(ticket) and give the pokémon after it.

Makes sense. How do I check for the ticket's existence at the start of an event, and erase the ticket when a Pokemon is selected?

pbHasItem?(item) to check, and pbDeleteItem(item,qty) to delete the ticket.
