Hello. How do I make ammo show subtraction?

Hi guys, I'm new to Construct3 and am having trouble showing the ammo being subtracted from the textbox everytime I shoot.

The amount of ammo shows okay and that amount is shot okay too. It's just the ammo number remains the same.

Could somebody here show me a detailed example of how I can do it, please? Thanks so much!

Set Text to global variable ammo every time you shoot. Did you just set it once on start of layout?

I have global variable for Ammo at the beginning of the events page only.

What problem are you having? You said it shows okay but then it doesn't? You need to update the text in the text object each time.

What I'm trying to do are these events:

Collect bullets

Show 10 bullets on textbox (not limited to 10)

Every time spacebar is pressed once, fire 1 bullet from inventory and subtract 1 from textbox.

Is there an example I can study or copy that anyone has?

You just need to set the text to show the global variable. As the variable changes it will update on the text.

Okay, this is what I have done so far and what the result is...

Set a global number for bullets.

Player on collision with bullets gains 10 bullets to fire on spacebar pressed.

System: Bullet greater or equal to 0

Every tick deducts 1 bullet from player's bullets of 10 (problem is the count on textbox goes down to 9 bullets after pressing spacebar twice instead of what should be once. Every shoot after is one bullet as I want it to be from the start).

If I collect more bullets, total will not go above 10 bullets on textbox and player can not shoot more than that either. I don't want an upper limit. I want only what player collects.

In debug preview you can see if the variable is as expected. Setting the text to show the variable is different, you can set an event every tick > set text to variable then it will be correctly showing the variable.

Can't see the debug preview on free version.

I just can't get it to work properly. I'll keep looking for a video that shows a working example. Seems like 99% just use basic unlimited ammo though.
