In the buying event:

if (cash > 0)
{

}

if (cash =< 0)
{
create "you don't have enought cash" actor
}

Yeah, i would like to know how to make my charicter interact with a store and have options to buy stuff.
I would also like to know how to make where you can unlock thingies in the store by colecting a certan amount of items.

Well, making the store system to a game can be made with hundreds of different ways. It would be better that you plan how you will make it and then ask questions just to the parts you need help with.
Have you played around with variables?

[Rule-Buster]

no, i'm so new, i don't even know how to get my charicter to stop jumping for infinite.

Ah ok. I think there should be one variable tutorial somewhere.
Variable is very easy and very very handy thing in all code langauges. It basically stores information.
Most of the variables are integers (stores numbers) and in GEysir (my name for GE code) you can use variables like this:

myvariable = 40; //sets the variable value to 40
anothervariable = myvariable; //sets a variable value to the variable value of another variable
myvariable = 1+1;
myvariable = anothervariable + 1337 + 365;
myvariable += 2; //variable value changes to value + 2 (if it's 1 it becomes 3)
myvariable = xvelocity;
or inside any script that where you can insert numbers.
There is also string variables (store text) but they are level more complicated so you better practise playing with integer variables first.

I usually use animations to store information
... very handy!
