Purchases

Purchase System (Z-Coins)

The Purchase System in Zimension allows creators to monetize gameplay actions using Z-Coins. Purchases are event-driven, simple to configure, and tightly integrated with the Logic Workflow.

1. What is the Purchase System?

The Purchase System enables creators to:

• Offer paid actions inside a world
• Use Z-Coins as the in-world currency
• Unlock gameplay advantages, shortcuts, or content
• Trigger events after successful purchase

Purchases are not items: they are actions tied to events.

2. How Purchases Work

The purchase flow follows this logic:

Event occurs → Purchase prompt is shown → Player pays Z-Coins → Event is triggered

3. Purchase Configuration

Show Purchase On Event

• Select an Event
• The purchase prompt will appear only when this event is triggered

Title

• Text shown to the player describing what the purchase does

Trigger Event (After Purchase)

• Select the event triggered after a successful purchase
• This event can change variables, open doors, teleport player, grant rewards

Z-Coins Cost

• Cost of the purchase in Z-Coins
• Must be a numeric value

4. Example Use Cases

Skip Checkpoint

• Event: player_failed
• Show purchase: "Skip to next checkpoint"
• Cost: 10 Z-Coins
• Trigger event: skip_checkpoint

Revive Player

• Event: player_dead
• Show purchase: "Revive instantly"
• Cost: 20 Z-Coins
• Trigger event: player_revive

Unlock Premium Area

• Event: premium_door_interact
• Show purchase: "Unlock premium zone"
• Cost: 50 Z-Coins
• Trigger event: open_premium_door

5. Best Practices

• Always explain what the player gets
• Keep costs balanced for gameplay fairness
• Avoid blocking core gameplay behind purchases
• Use purchases for convenience, cosmetic access, optional shortcuts
• Combine purchases with conditions for smarter logic

6. What Purchases Are NOT

• Not physical inventory items
• Not hardcoded paywalls
• Not automatic actions

Purchases are event-based monetization triggers.
