How to keep weapon with no ammo

[kewizzle]

hi guys i need help keeping a weapon that has no ammo so players dont have to rebuy the weapon

[Castillo]

I guess that you can check everytime when they use the weapon to see if the ammo is 1, then if it is, disable the fire control, and also do the same for when they switch weapons.

Events:

onClientPlayerWeaponFire

onClientPlayerWeaponSwitch

Functions:

getPedTotalAmmo 
toggleControl

ill see what i can do with the stuff youve given me and ill post a reply of what i did if i have issues

[kewizzle]

couldnt figure it out all i learned is how to make explosive weapons

[Castillo]

[kewizzle]

tbh i was lost when i put them together and i deleted it so im going to go into notepad++ and retry and then ill post

[kewizzle]

Heres what i tried

addEventHandler( "onWeaponFire", root, 
function () 
getPedTotalAmmo(source) 
if PedAmmo = 0 then 
getWeaponInSlot(1) or 
getWeaponInSlot(2) or 
getWeaponInSlot(3) or 
getWeaponInSlot(4) or 
getWeaponInSlot(5) or 
getWeaponInSlot(6) or 
getWeaponInSlot(7) or 
getWeaponInSlot(8) or 
getWeaponInSlot(9) or 
getWeaponInSlot(10) or 
getWeaponInSlot(11) or 
getWeaponInSlot(12) then 
giveWeapon(source, weapon, 0) 
end

No offense, but that doesn't make any sense, and I mean no sense at all.

my bad i started a week ago help

[kewizzle]

im trying to make it get the total ammo and then if the ammo is = to 0 then it would set weapon that was there back in the slot with 0 ammo

[Castillo]

There's no need to give the weapon back, since you can stop the player from using it again.

By the way, "onWeaponFire" will be available in MTA 1.4, it's not available in current versions.

oh shit so i can make the weapon unusable if it has 1 ammo...

[kewizzle]

i cant figure it out im looking on the wiki for stuff to do with weapons and i cant find a way to make the weapon unusable

OMG thanks so much now im going to read through it and see how it works

[Castillo]

See if it works when you switch weapons, because it didn't work out on my local server, but I think it's because of one of my scripts messing around.

[kewizzle]

Yes when i give the weapon back with ammo wont shoot till i switch weapons and switch back but thats okay whos gonna stay on the same weapon while having zombies chase them lol theyll probably switch weapons on the way to get ammo anyway but thanks works perfect and i understand the script now i read through it and the side notes.

You're welcome.
