Thanks to my new engine calls, I can remove any gun from an object by preset name.
I can also locate any gun by preset name. (if the object has it)
And I can find "all guns" for an object.
And I can get the current gun for an object oo.
Then, once I have the gun, I can add bullets.
I can subtract bullets.
I can set the bullets to some specific value (including "empty" and "full")
I can do this for both the count of bullets loaded into the weapon and for the count of bullets in the "clip/backpack".
I can make all this trigger on zone entry, on powerup collection, and on poke.

What scripts should I make with this? What uses can people think of for being able to change the bullets for a gun or object?

Maybe a (Manned) turret script. So that when the turret overheats the clip is empty, after a few seconds, it regens back.

That would be nice for use with any weapon (not just turrets), actually (it would behave something like the Plasma Rifle from Halo)

looks like a few new crates are coming Big Grin

(ammo set down to 1 clip each weap or something, weapon freeze crate - sets the ammo to 0 for a specific amount of time be4 it refills again)

refilling ammo automatically when entering your own structures or a vehicle might also be helpful sometimes when its possible to specify what weapon(s) exactly are being refilled

The dead know only one thing: it's better to be alive.

The only thing that might be slightly useful I can think is vehicle ammo. With this you could have a limited amount of ammo for each or certain vehicles, then have to drive into a zone to refil.

maybe a script where your weapon has a random chance (say 0.05%) of jamming each time you fire it, and your current clip is set to empty (as if it was discarded)...

Would it be possible to limit a person to the number of weapons they can carry. Let a person swap there current weapon for a weapon lying on the ground instead of just automaticly picking it up.

Weapon jamming and limited weapons is not going to happen.
