Any way to make some sort of shop system with arrays (gamelab)

pluto

so i want to yk make a shopping system, as i dont want to make more variables then needed, i'm using arrays for a somewhat less time consuming approach.

i have tried to use includes(), but as far as I know it for some reason doesn't work for arrays.

here is an example of what im trying to do so you can base it off mine.

var list = ["a", "b", "c"] //then i need something to check if for example if it has "a"

when using includes it returns true or false if you didn't know. but see if this helps at all. https://attacomsian.com/blog/javascript-array-search

theres only like 2 that works because this is es5
they also turn in to true or false
oh yeah and stupid me forgot to call the function for the shop to work; resolved

im pretty sure this is a bit too over the top as i know there has to be something to shorten it as i will have to repeat this for each item, this will be a massive line waste

if (mouseIsOver(gogglesBtnP1) && mouseWentDown("leftButton") && itemsP1[0] == "" && eggbucksP1 >= 500) { setTimeout(function() { itemsP1[0] = "goggles"; }, 50); eggbucksP1 -= 500; } if (mouseIsOver(gogglesBtnP1) && mouseWentDown("leftButton") && itemsP1[0] == "goggles") { setTimeout(function() { itemsP1[0] = "gogglesEquipped"; }, 50); } if (mouseIsOver(gogglesBtnP1) && mouseWentDown("leftButton") && itemsP1[0] == "gogglesEquipped") { setTimeout(function() { itemsP1[0] = "goggles"; }, 50); } if (itemsP1[0] == "") { text("Buy", 48, 94); } if (itemsP1[0] == "goggles") { gogglesBtnP1.setAnimation("equipBtn"); text("Equip", 42, 94); } if (itemsP1[0] == "gogglesEquipped") { gogglesBtnP1.setAnimation("equipBtn"); textSize(12); text("Unequip", 37, 93); }
