Shoot the zombie hats! Drink The slushies! Save the survivors in this top-down shoot-em-up.
I'm not exactly sure how i did it, as I do not have the files, but I think I had two text objects, one for gun magazine and one for reserve. you'll need these variables: currentAmmo, currentReserve, maxAmmo
when shooting, make sure to check that you have ammo and just minus one from the currentAmmo then set the text to currentAmmo
when reloading you'd first want to check that you have reserve ammo to reload. then you'll also want to check how much ammo you can reload when you don't have enough for the entire clip: if (currentReserve < maxAmmo - currentAmmo) then set currentAmmo = currentReserve + currentAmmo, also set currentReserve = 0, and update your text
finally if your currentReserve is greater than or equal to what you need to reload : if (currentReserve >= maxAmmo - currentAmmo) then set currentAmmo = maxAmmo, and set currentReserve = currentReserve - (maxAmmo - currentAmmo) then just update your text objects
that's how i probably did it, hope it helps!
thanks, will try this.
