Could you post the whole code of the weapon?

			Loop
		Deselect:

	}
}
Here is also the ACS code for Reloader and Cycler. Also, for the Cycler to work, you must give the player "RifleMode" first.

Code: Select all

#library "cyclr"
script "Cycler" (void)
{

	if (CheckWeapon("OICW") == 1)
	{
		if(CheckInventory("RocketMode")==1 && CheckInventory("RifleMode")==0)
		//If Rocket Mode is ACTIVE and RifleMode is INACTIVE 
		{
			TakeInventory("RocketMode", 1);
			GiveInventory("RifleMode", 1);
			Print(s:"9.5x25mm Caseless Rifle Mode: ACTIVE.");
		}
		else if(CheckInventory("RifleMode")==1 && CheckInventory("ShotgunMode")==0)
		//If Rifle Mode is ACTIVE and Shotgun Mode is INACTIVE
		{
			TakeInventory("RifleMode", 1); 
			GiveInventory("ShotgunMode", 1);
			Print(s:"10ga Shotgun Mode: ACTIVE.");
		}
		else if(CheckInventory("ShotgunMode")==1 && CheckInventory("RocketMode")==0)
		//If Shotgun Mode is ACTIVE and RocketMode is INACTIVE
		{
			TakeInventory("ShotgunMode", 1);
			GiveInventory("RocketMode", 1);
			Print(s:"20mm Smart Rocket Mode: ACTIVE.");
		}
	}
}

#library "rldr"
script "Reloader" (void)
{
	if (CheckWeapon("OICW") == 1)
	{
		if(CheckInventory("RifleMode")==1)
		{ GiveInventory("RifleMag", 25); Print(s:"Rifle Reloaded"); }
		
		else if(CheckInventory("ShotgunMode")==1)
		{ GiveInventory("ShotgunTube", 8); Print(s:"Shotgun Reloaded"); }
		
		else if(CheckInventory("RocketMode")==1)
		{ GiveInventory("RocketMag", 3); Print(s:"Smart Rocket Reloaded");}
	}
}

Your weapon is ammo-less (it lacks [wiki=Weapon_properties#Weapon.AmmoType]Weapon.AmmoType[/wiki]). This is why A_JumpIfNoAmmo doesn't work as expected. You may want to use [wiki]A_JumpIfInventory[/wiki] instead of A_JumpIfNoAmmo.

I do understand that the weapon doesn't have an ammo type, since I would've ideally like to have three different ammo types. Also, after changing the A_JumpIfNoAmmo to A_JumpIfInventory (and putting it at the end of the state before "Goto Ready" since it would do nothing but reload), still continues to fire projectiles even after the magazine is empty.

I made a weapon that could cycle through three different kinds of ammo, it was all made on DECORATE. Maybe you should take a look:

Click me.

Just keep in mind that i'm not actually using real ammo types, but inventory items instead.

Funny you mentioning that weapon you made. Back in the summer, I had originally looked through that to get a sense of how use more than three ammo types could work, but went with making three separate weapons. Now returning to the one weapon & multiple ammo types, I remembered your weapon.

Could you look through my code, to see what is missing or needs to be fixed? My intent is to have it so that it can switch between bullets, shotgun, and rockets (obviously), while each having its own magazine size. I've also wanted to have it so that the weapon has unlimited ammo, but still needs to be reloaded. Think of the combat rifle from Lithium. If you need it, would you also need to see the Cycler code?
