Using ammo in stock instead of clip

bhfff

Hi I'm relatively new to modding but I know my way around. I can read an understand what the code is doing.

I'm trying to recreate the Ring of Fire specifically its tier 3 effect, where the player uses its ammo in stock instead of the clip.

The basic concept is to put the following code into a loop (hopefully it's properly formatted)

if(self isFiring() && self attackButtonPressed())
{

	if( self GetWeaponAmmoStock( self getCurrentWeapon() ) > 0 )
	{
		self setWeaponAmmoClip(self getCurrentWeapon(), self GetWeaponAmmoClip( self getCurrentWeapon() )+1);
		self setWeaponAmmoStock(self getCurrentWeapon(), self GetWeaponAmmoStock( self getCurrentWeapon() )-1);
	}
}

The problem it's not smooth and the bullets in the clip can still decrease. I thought about using this, but it doesn't help.

// Use ammo from stock
if( self GetWeaponAmmoStock( self getCurrentWeapon() ) != 0 )
{	
   self setClientDvar("sf_use_ignoreammo", "1");
	
} else {

   self setClientDvar("sf_use_ignoreammo", "0");
}

I also can't use dvars such as player_sustainAmmo 1 because it's globally applied.

Here's a function that calculates the time between shots:
( I thought about using it as a delay, but it came out it's a bad idea )

self.timeBetweenShots = gettime() - self.lastShotTime;
self iprintln(self.timeBetweenShots / 1000);

if(self isFiring() && self attackButtonPressed())
{
   self.lastShotTime = gettime();
}

I couldn't find any function related to when a player is shooting or more specifically a function that detects change in ammunition.

So right now I'm kinda lost, as I really want to make it smooth (aka the ammo in the clip has to stay still) but I also want a code that works for every weapon (considering their rate of fire).

Also, this one is too slow
self waittill("weapon_fired");

Any tips?

bhfff

I wanted to add that the first part of the code, works if your weapon is automatic.

Otherwise there's a delay that must be calculated.

bhfff

Solved, here's the code! Remember to run this in a loop

// We need to make sure the player shot and is holding the shooting button
if(self isFiring() && self attackButtonPressed()){

	// Use stock instead of clip
	if( self GetWeaponAmmoStock( self getCurrentWeapon() ) > 0)
	{
			
		ClipSize = WeaponClipSize( self getCurrentWeapon() );
		CurrentClip = self GetWeaponAmmoClip( self getCurrentWeapon() );
		CurrentClipDiff = ClipSize - CurrentClip;
		
		CurrentStock = self GetWeaponAmmoStock( self getCurrentWeapon() );
		
		self setWeaponAmmoClip(self getCurrentWeapon(), ClipSize);
		self setWeaponAmmoStock(self getCurrentWeapon(), CurrentStock - CurrentClipDiff);
	
	}
}

I'm unsure how this would work for dual wield weapons, the following might work for World at War but unsure about other games

Add this to any if statement:

&& !maps\_zombiemode_weapons::weapon_is_dual_wield( CurrentWeapon )
