Problem using a level NPC that's joined to a class

Whereas if you store it twice, once on the server-side and once on the client-side. You have access to it on the client-side right away without sending it through your server-to-client data routing system.

Then when his shop is working the way he wants, he can always go in after and setup a way to sync the shop data to the client.

This is what we've got so far!

Although I'm interested in re-doing the shop with DB NPC's instead of putting all the item information in the shop class. Do you think that would be more efficient or is this a good solution? Don't really know how to set it all up using DB NPC's yet though.

PHP Code:

function onActionBuyItem(cmd, selected)
{ 
  if(cmd == "Buy")
  {
    for(temp.item: this.listofitems)
    {
      if(temp.item[0] == selected)
      {
        if(player.rupees < temp.item[3])
        {
          player.chat = "Not enough rupees!";
        }
        else
        {
          player.chat = "Bought " @ temp.item[1] @ "!";
          player.rupees = player.rupees - temp.item[3];
          this.money = this.money + temp.item[3];
          this.chat = this.money;
          player.addweapon(temp.item[2]);
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

function onCreated()
{
  this.setShape(1, 32, 32); 
  this.listofitems = {{"Shop_Item_Fireball", "Fireball", "split_fireball", 30}, 
                      {"Shop_Item_Sword", "Sword", "split_sword", 20},
                      {"Shop_Item_Bow", "Bow", "split_bow", 10}
                     };
}
