How do i make a shop that opens up a panel and allows users to see the items instead of going through the list of items

The most efficient procedure I could think to use deals with areas. Upon entering this area, locate the shopkeeper in their oview() and give them a statpanel for it.

mob/var/mob/byshopkeeper = 0
area
    ShopKeeper
        Entered(var/atom/moveable/M)
            if(ismob(M))
                var/mob/R = M
                if(!R.client || R.byshopkeeper) ..()
                else R.byshopkeeper = locate(/mob/NPCtype/) in oview(1)
            else ..()

mob/Stat()
    if(byshopkeeper) statpanel("Shop",byshopkeeper.contents)


That will, of course, be a little buggy if you place shopkeepers too close together. The area should cover their oview() one tile around them, and shopkeepers should be two tiles apart.
