What did you try? Can you provide your updated code please?

Welcome to the forum @Xelonix007

You should set the onclick property of button1 to be buyHealth.

Here is the original code.

Here is your code.

You appear to have changed the .innerText properties of the button elements.

For this step, below the .innerText code, add the .onclick code for the buttons.

Please reset the step to restore the original code and try again.

Happy coding

`function goStore() {
button1.innerText = “Buy 10 health (10 gold)”;
button2.innerText = “Buy weapon (30 gold)”;
button3.innerText = “Go to town square”;

button1.onClick = buyHealth;
button2.onClick = buyWeapon;
button3.onClick = goTown;
}`

Can you help define what I should put in here?

In your goStore() function, update the onclick property for each button to run buyHealth , buyWeapon , and goTown , respectively.

This is the instruction. I am not sure what to put, cause I just followed the instruction in doing onClick in the previous session. Thank you!

nvm, I just had to move the onClick code into the goStore() function and change the value to the required value.

Edit: When I moved to the next step, the onClick which has the goStore goCave and fightDragon was put back into the code. So I think the onClick outside the goStore function shouldn’t be removed. But I am wondering why my initial code which is the one below did not work.

function goStore() {
button1.innerText = “Buy 10 health (10 gold)”;
button2.innerText = “Buy weapon (30 gold)”;
button3.innerText = “Go to town square”;

button1.onClick = buyHealth;
button2.onClick = buyWeapon;
button3.onClick = goTown;
}

I got it. you have to add them below each of the respective buttons like button1.innertext than button1.onclick and so on. hope this helps : )
