my second "help me" topic

Got a weapon.
You pick up ammo for it.
You've now got 15 according to the menu.
You fire one out.
You go down to 9!
You fire another you go to 8.
You fire another, down to 7, and so on.

I thought this might have happened, as I'd set the total you could have for that ammo at 10. But I can't find that.

So I don't understand.

Any ideas, before I copy 'n' paste loads of useless code?

I don't know how different your code is to the original Quake source, but...

Have you tried checking the bound_other_ammo() in items.qc? Pretty much all ammo is properly leveled out by this function.

[ajay]

Thanks, yeah. It was at 10, so methought that's it. So I yanked it up to 50, but it still does it.

[Dr. Shadowborg]

Sounds almost like some sort of .currentammo problem. Is your weapon somehow improperly setting the .currentammo rather than the actual ammo type?

[Spike]

you're not using -= are you? Last I checked some compilers accept it but generate broken code. (I think they accept it at least..)

Also, check that if you're using FrikQCC 2.6, that you're not using the 'const' keyword anywhere.

[FrikaC]

anywhere?
