How to make so that it only shows ammo in clip

Post by TheOldKingCole »

I am mostly unfamiliar with sbarinfo, but I have a weapon in a mod I'm working on where it it has infinite ammo, but still has to reload every 16 shots, so how can I make it so that on this weapon it only shows the ammo in the clip?

This can be done without SBARINFO.
You could just use what you are using to keep track of the current ammo and use it as AmmoType1. (Keep in mind that it has to be inherited from Ammo to work)

If you however want to use SBARINFO for this, you should look at the wiki pages:
SBARINFO, DrawNumber (For drawing current ammo) and Default status bars for examples on how they look like.

Thanks but I find the wiki does very little to actually explain how things actually work and how to make them, just how they look when finished which does nothing for me. I at least know where to start now so again thanks for the help.
