Thanks, guys, it now works! I created another image point and placed it just outside the player.

Thank you so much for your help!

I use construct3 as a free user at the moment.

I managed to upload your version which works fine. I then went to copy and past your event sheet to mine and it still wouldn't work.

The only different thing I can see is have a separate sheet called object repository. How can I recreate that?

I downloaded those files from that link but then I needed to download an app to open them (json genie) and then I still couldn't open them lol.

I'll try moving the bullet off the layout but I think I already did try it yesterday.

I just don't get it. I can make the character shoot infinite bullets but when I try to add limitations, it just won't work. Something to do with bullet properties maybe?

The textbox shows the bullet count going down every press of the Spacebar but my character won't spawn bullets. Only the first bullet flies away from the character (if I place the bullet in the layout area then it won't spawn at all).

I followed the instructions of a video but it still won't work. What am I doing wrong, guys? I want my character to shoot until it runs out of bullets.

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.

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.

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?

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

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!
