2017-07-04: Trying to add a shotgun revealed several underlying problems in the code which I'm unable to resolve or get help on right now, probably due to the fact that ZScript is still new enough that very few people know how to troubleshoot it. I've gotten extremely frustrated and have little desire to bang my head against a wall any longer, so I'm going to shelve this and put it on hiatus for a while. I'll probably come back to it in a few months with yet another refactor when my mind is clear and I'm not mad at the code anymore. Maybe by then I'll have some new ideas to bring to the table, more than just a Receiver clone.

You start with an empty 9mm pistol. You may hold Altfire, Reload, or Zoom to access additional weapon interaction contexts. For example, holding Reload then tapping Altfire will select the next magazine in your inventory (provided there is not already one in the weapon). Conversely, holding Altfire then holding Reload will pull the slide, ejecting any round in the chamber. Holding Zoom will tighten your sight picture and cause you to do a slower, more accurate trigger pull. You may wish to perform drills before entering combat.
You can see the current pool of "spare rounds" as Doom's default "Clip" ammotype. You cannot use these bullets directly in the gun, but must reload your magazines manually. There is a secondary "weapon" on slot 2 where you can reload mags that aren't in your gun, using Fire to insert a round, AltFire to remove a round, and Reload to grab another mag. Again, drilling this skill is recommended and should be performed far from combat situations.
Your (somewhat slower than normal) movement speed is directly affected by your Stamina, which decreases with running and jumping. Your maximum stamina is capped by your current health. As either decreases, you will gradually get slower. Healthpacks will restore you as in normal Doom gameplay. Basically, try not to get shot.
