Here's the relevant code: Code: BMAP* interfacedummy_png = "InterfaceDummy.png"; ... PANEL* Pointer_ItemInSlot1 = interfacedummy_png; ... function buy_stinger() { if (goldplayer >= 40) { //ignore this if (Pointer_ItemInSlot1.bmap == interfacedummy_png) { //the slot = empty Pointer_ItemInSlot1.bmap = IconItemStinger_bmp; Pointer_ItemInSlot1.skill_x = 1; //ignore this goldplayer -= 40;} //ignore this ... The 'goldplayer' is not the problem, i know this 100% sure. The problem is that it ignores the "if (Pointer_ItemInSlot1.bmap == interfacedummy_png)" but I don't know why.

It should look like this: PANEL* Pointer_ItemInSlot1 = {bmap=interfacedummy_png;} And I dont think its possible to read the bmap of button. muffel

But you can go exactly the way rayp suggested. You just have to ensure you initialize your panel correctly. Either with a static definition or with pan_create. Code: PANEL* Pointer_ItemInSlot1 = { bmap="InterfaceDummy.png"; } Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...
