Hi

i have got a shoot command but am a little stuck with Ammo

i made it a var and a stat...

but i cant get it to stop going down when you fire because when you fire it got down to 9 fire again then 8 and so on

but when it gets to 0 you can still fire and it goes in the -'s

thanks

Structure your shoot verb like this:

mob/verb/shoot()
if(usr.ammo >= 1)
//do shooting stuff
else
usr<<"You are out of ammo!"

You did plug in the if statement into your shooting verb, right? =)

Put the rest of the verb in the MIDDLE of the if and the else.

I SAID put the if before the shooting stuff, what the heck do you think I meant?


if(usr.ammo >=1)
usr.projectile(new/obj/bullet(usr.loc),usr.dir,5)
usr.Ammo -= 1
else
usr<<"You are out of ammo!"

Gotta do >= 1 Camero, read my post. If you do 0 it still lets you fire if you have 0 ammo.

Heres a few tips, if you wana check if something is >=1 like if(usr.Ammo>=1) you can just do if(usr.Ammo)
And if you wana add or substract 1, you can just do ++ or --
Heres the code with does changes

mob/verb/shoot()
if(usr.Ammo)
usr.projectile(new/obj/bullet(usr.loc),usr.dir,5)
usr.Ammo--
else
usr<<"You are out of ammo!"

I made a mistake...
if(usr.Ammo) will be true if usr.Ammo not zero so I guess you better use usr.Ammo<=1

Dont post on things of which you have no knowledge. the if(var) and if(!var) statements only work for true or false vars, 1 or 0, not vars that operate like ammunition.
