[Not ZDoom] [2.1.7] Reloding effect doesn't work properly

[The NUtcracker]

It's only on the easiest difficulty. Not as though this would really effect anyone, as almost every doomer plays UV.

What happens is it doesn't take out enough ammo when you reload.
Let's say you have a reloading pistol that has 6 bullets in it and you reload it. When you do, it only takes 3 ammo from your inventory.

But, as I said, this is only the easiest skill level.

[Zippy]

My reloading stuff works absolutely fine. It's probably a problem with how you set yours up.

[The NUtcracker]

Was it on easiest skill (I'm too young too die!)?

That's the only skill that has the problem.

[Zippy]

Yes.

[Graf Zahl]

This is directly related to the ammo doubling in this skill and can't be changed because it would break the skill level as it is.

@Zippy I'm uploading a video of me demonstrating the bug in Zen dynamics. Watch the ammo that is loaded into the gun. It loads 6 bullets into the gun, but only 3 were taken out of your inventory. The recording was in GZDoom, but I tried it in ZDoom, and the exact same thing happened.

Without seeing your implementation, the only thing I can conclude is that you didn't account for the double ammo players receive in baby and nightmare modes.

I didn't download that as my computer is about to explode from lack of RAM but did you even see randy and Graf's posts. Now that you think about it, their reasons make perfect sense....

[Vaecrius]

Apparently it happens anytime you have A_GiveInventory and ammo... I haven't tried it yet, but I suppose substituting an ACS equivalent would fix this?

That wasn't the point of posting it. I posted it to prove to Zippy that the bug does exist. Didn't you read my post? Or did I forget to mention it in my post?

And we're saying this is a bug with your implementation, not with ZDoom.

[Vaecrius]

Well, I just tested the ACS and it does the same thing. And simply dividing the number by two doesn't work since that rounds down to zero, so the only thing left is a script that checks the skill and then takes away one unit of ammo...

*groans* I hate it when I forget to put something in my posts. (in this case, it was that I understand that it wasn't ZDoom's doing.)

[Zippy]

Well, I just tested the ACS and it does the same thing.

For reference, this is basically what I use, and I have tested it (in 2.1.7 and SVN r492, which is the latest I have), and it does work correctly on all skill levels:

Code: Select all • Expand view

if ( weapon == PISTOL ) {
   missing = PISMAX - CheckInventory("PistolAmmo");
   // Either you have enough backup ammo to fill what is missing
   // or you don't
   if ( CheckInventory("Clip") >= missing ) {
      // Have enough to fill
      TakeInventory("Clip",missing);
      GiveInventory("PistolAmmo",PISMAX);
   } else {
      // Don't have enough to fill
      GiveInventory( "PistolAmmo", CheckInventory("Clip") );
      TakeInventory("Clip",PISMAX);
   }
}
