Need help with my ammo system.

03-08-2005, 09:37 PM

Ok basically I am using the food limit for ammo in clip/extra ammo left. Now when someone reloads I need to know how to take whatever is left in the food cap with a max of lets say 125 for Heavy Machine Gun. I also need to find out how to make it so that the food cap will go above 100. I will post my triggers for reference and for any ideas to make my trigger or system better in any way. Thanks for any and all help.

Azhag	To make the food cap go higher, look under Gameplay Constants. I believe it is there. Sorry I can't help on your other problems. Hopefully other people will.

What do you mean gameplay constants? Sorry I havent made to many complex maps up to this point and dont know to much yet.

The other problem i thought should have been simple but its more difficult than it looked. I think im going to have to do another If/then and do If food cap < 125 then take a variable set to the players food cap and just take that amount and put it into food used. Yes that should work i hope.

Still need it to let me have more than 100 food cap tho. I thought I could raise food max and that would do it but it didnt work. Either it isnt working or thats not a way I can do it.

EDIT- small mistake
