How do I Make An Ammo System?

So, what I want is an Ammo system where once you run out of ammo you can reload. If you have the amount of clips. Once you run out of clips then you can shoot the last bit of bullets you have. But you cant reload.

How would I do something like that?

well your player needs a few instance variables.

player.currentclip

player.clips

IF press fire button AND player.currentclip > 0 THEN 

          //shoot
          spawn bullet
          play.audio("gunshot.ogg")
          subtract 1 from player.currentclip

          //check clip is empty
          IF player.currentclip <= 0 AND player.clips > 0 THEN
               
               //reload
               set player.currentclip to MaxClipSize  //whatever the size your clip is
               subtract 1 from player.clips

           END

ELSE
               
               //gun is empty
               play.audio("click.ogg")

END[/code:30xcwrya]

if you want to make a manual reload you would just do that nested IF outside

//make sure the gun isn't already full
IF reload button pressed AND player.currentclip < MaxClipSize
           IF player.clips > 0 THEN
               
               //reload
               set player.currentclip to MaxClipSize  //whatever the size your clip is
               subtract 1 from player.clips

           END
END[/code:1f8j2k58]

the only thing you have to think about is if the player hits reload and their gun is not empty, what do you do with those extra bullets?  that's when it get's a little more complicated.

Thanks! I'll try when I can!

I wrote a tutorial a while ago for reloading weapons.
