Simple Ammunition

[CrymsenTears]

I need a script that deals with ammo. Basically the way I want it to work is that when you have Guns (A, B, or C) equipped, you need to have a unit of ammo for EACH attack/skill. So when you attack or use a skill, it has to decrease 1 ammo, but only when the character with the gun attacks.
Features Needed

• Player needs ammo to attack with guns/bows.
• Script can be set to decrease the ammo by any number, say multishot uses 2 ammo. It needs to decrease by two, so essentially a place in the script to set up individual skills and their costs.
• Weapons that require ammo need to be able to be specified.
• Needs to be compatible with the SDK.

If anyone is willing to do this I would much appreciate it because I need it to create a realistic game. Please post here or PM me if you would liek to attempt it. It doesnt seem that hard to me, but if you can suggest an alternative, such as an edit, post it here. The above features absolutely MUST be included. Thanks to whoever tries this.

Edit: something like this: http://www.rmxp.org/forums/showthread.php?t=26589 but it needs to expend ammo from your inventory/bag.

This is simple to do, I have to go off to work for now but if it is not done when I get back I will do it tonight.

Cheers,

Syn.

Syn thats the bomb. I just have 1 question. If I want to add say, weapons that need 2 ammo, do I need to make another line with another {}? Otherwise I believe all I have to do is make commas liek this {21, 22, 23 =>1} if I want them all to use 1 ammo. Correct?

 

[Synthesize]

Use only one array but separate it with a comma, so like this:

{17 => 1, 18 => 1, 19 => 2, 20 => 2}

When the array is called it looks for the Weapons ID (The first number) and then returns (=>) the second number, which then becomes the number of ammo is needed to attack

okay thanks.
