The npc needs a blocking shape on the server-side, and you have to use triggeraction instead

I hope I'm not confusing anyone here, but I've always found it better to use DB NPCs for something like this
PHP Code:
function Shop_Button1.onAction() {
if (checkCost(this.item)) {
Shop_MultiLine1.setText("Danke für den Einkauf");
// trigger a DB NPC:
triggerServer("npc", "ShopControl", "buy", this.item);
}
else Shop_MultiLine1.setText("Nich genug Geld");
}
then have a DB NPC named "ShopControl"
PHP Code:
function onActionServerSide() {
// The parameters are received from the client-side
// in an array like so: {"buy", "jeep"}
// Assuming "jeep" was in this.item when it was triggered
if (params[0] == "buy") {
switch (params[1]) {
case "jeep":
// Check to see if they enough rupees
temp.cost = 15;
if (player.rupees >= temp.cost) {
// Add weapon and deduct rupees from player
addweapon("Jeep2");
player.rupees -= temp.cost;
}
break;
}
}
}
It doesn't really make a difference I guess, just another way to do it. It's probably more reliable than using setShape and triggerAction(x, y) since other NPCs can get in the way, etc.

unless you know the npc name which is a little more complicated.

You can't trigger level NPCs from clientside anyway (by name); it has to be a DB NPC (or putnpc2, same thing).
