I made a shop with purchasable items, but it was based off a plain unit. There must be something i need to make true or something to allow them to buy the items, in the object ecitor, 'cause they don't show up when i build the building. I can't find it. Dose anyone know what i'm talking about (man i hate object editor).

i think quite understand u but i think u mean u want a shop to be able to sell items (which u did easily) but u need it to be a unit that is selling them. does thew unit need to move and if so does it jsut patrol backwards and forwards?

I think you can edit all the things neccesary for a unit to be a shop without having to turn it into a building. If not, you can always turn it to a building, modify the things you want, and then set it back to a unit. I managed to make moving units with ground textures this way before. :)

Anyway, to make a unit a shop, it needs to have some special abilities besides just having items to sell. Look at the goblin merchant to see what those abilities are...

I dont want it to move or look like anything else.
It is a building.
It was based off a custom unit i made (copy paste) which was based off of watch tower. I did this so I could save time and wouldn't have to re-edit certain values (gold build time etc.)

I did just what one of u said and checked goblin merchant. The thing is that it has no abilities. And I couldn't find a value on it that in anyway indicated that it could sell items.

I don't know if these are factors but 1 you own it 2 it has other abilities, and 3 you upgrade something else to it.

All you need for a shop to sell items is:

Select Hero/Unit
Shop Purchase Item
