  Create an integer attribute called game.character and set it to 1.
  
  In the character actor, have a rule that says if game.character = 1, have all rules and stuff that you want character one to do (maybe a change image), or stuff like that.
  
  Then, create another rule that says if game.character = 2, have all the stuff for that character.
  
  Create those rules for however many characters you have.
  
  Now, in your character buying scene create an actor that we will use self.attributes for to say which character to unlock. In your unlocking character actor, create an integer attribute called self.coins. Create another attribute called self.character#.
  
  Rules in the actor:
  
  When touch is pressed and game.coins is > than self.coins, change attribute game.character to self.character#. Timer (just in case) 0.1 sec after that (still in the rule), save attribute game.coins and game.character
  
  The purpose for the self.attributes is so that you don't have to unlock any of the buttons you make.
  
  In your first scene of your app, be sure to load game.coins and game.character.
  
  The version of the store that I created for you, would not unlock a character, but would require you to buy a different character every time you use them. If you would like to make it so that it just unlocks them, it would be a little more complicated but not too much.
  
  Hope this helps,

  one way:
  gameAttribute … Text type … playerImage …leave blank
  gameAttribute … Index type … coins
  
  in your shop:
  on each newActorImage:
  selfAttribute: myPrice … Index type … and enter the coins needed to purchase this actor
  Rule: when (All)
  Event: touch is pressed
  Attribute: game.coins ≥ self.myPrice
  -changeAttribute: game.playerImage To: self.myImage
  -changeAttribute: game.coins To: game.coins-self.myPrice
  
  on playerActor:
  Rule: when
  Attribute: game.playerImage is leave blank
  -changeAttribute: self.Image To: original image
  -Otherwise: constrainAttribute: self.Image To: game.playerImage
