Help with HUD ammo count/Look @ my WAD

mydoomdevelopment · Post by **mydoomdevelopment** » Mon Aug 31, 2020 3:25 am

This is my first wad so I'll post the full dec and I'd really appreciate any tips, This started out as a browning hipower but i think i'm gonna keep making additions. everything works how I want it to but I would like to add the ability to see the current ammo in mag count on my hud as well as the total ammo count along side it in the same box that it's already in, something like [10/150] 10 being ammo left in the mag and 150 being total ammo on my person. Also any ways to simplify would be great as well as suggestions for things to add. I'll post the wad too, please try it out and let me know what you think. All textures from scratch other than Doomguys OG hands. Most of the code is practically copied from old posts on this forum. I'm currently working on a reload animation and other improvements that i'll probably post here sometime soon. My Avatar is a frame of its fire animation.

I'm sure this looks awful compared to what I could do with more than two days of Slade experience, but it couldn't be anymore fun to play to me

You are trying to make the current ammo appear on the HUD, correct?
One possible solution is changing AmmoType1 to the "NewPistolLoaded" ammo.
This will make the ammo show on the HUD, but it will show as "0" when full.

Spoiler:
To fix that, you will have to reverse the ammo checks:
Instead of using A_JumpIfInventory("NewPistolLoaded", 12, "Reload"), you can use this:
Code: Select all
BRNP A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("NewPistolLoaded", 1, 1) //If there's 1 NewPistolLoaded in the inventory, jump 1 state
Goto Reload //This doesn't count as a state however, so this gets jumped over to the next one
BRNP A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("9mmAmmo", 1, 1) //Also add a check for the second ammo type
Goto Ready
You can then add those four flags to make the gun use both ammo types when it fires and not deselect when out of ammo. (For reloading)
Code: Select all
+WEAPON.AMMO_OPTIONAL
+WEAPON.ALT_AMMO_OPTIONAL
+WEAPON.PRIMARY_USES_BOTH
+WEAPON.ALT_USES_BOTH
Then you can remove the A_GiveInventory("NewPistolLoaded", 1) calls from the fire states and replace the reloading calls with A_Give instead of A_Take.
This should be all that's needed to reverse the checks to make 12 appear as "full" instead of 0.

I messed around with this a little bit and after more than a little bit of fidgeting i've decided that my system is just going to have to make enough for me sense for now. Would there be any way to have my HUD display how much ammo is "in the mag" as my code is here?

Post by **Jarewill** » Tue Sep 01, 2020 2:54 am

The only thing that comes to mind with the current system is to use ACS with HudMessage:

Code: Select all

#library "ModName"
#include "zcommon.acs"

Script "AmmoType" ENTER
{
    While(true)
    {
        int am = 12 - CheckInventory("NewPistolLoaded"); //Define an integer that will show current ammo
        If(CheckWeapon("BRNPIS")){HudMessage(i:am; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 1, CR_RED, 0.9, 0.9, 0);} //Show current ammo on HUD, replace "0.9, 0.9" with proper position
        Else{HudMessage(s:""; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 1, CR_RED, 0.9, 0.9, 0);} //Also check if current weapon is "BRNPIS" to show the ammo
        Delay(1);
    }
}

Thank you sm for helping so far. Earlier today i started learned a little ZScript and was able to better grasp what you were trying to have me do the first time. I understand now that the pistols magazine will draw from "Newpistolloaded" and i will reload as long as I have ammo in "9mmAmmo". I adapted your fix to my code and included it into the burst firemechanic as well and it all works great, I now fire until 9 rounds after i have reloaded, my gun stays up, and I'm able to run out of ammo. Here's a little of what is relevant.

Spoiler:

I'm off to bed, but in the morning sometime, i'll try out your HUD fix
Maybe my HUD solution lies in ZScript after all. It's a shame there aren't any video tutorials on beginning ZScript without any experience.
I'll just have to make those videos myself when i understand a little more I guess. I'm sure i'll be an expert in a week or two

EDIT: I've started converting to ZScript and have the gun in a working state but I need help making it replace the pistol again. I had troubles defining a new mandatory playerpawn.

That's the whole of the zscript, I removed the MAPINFO entirely during troubleshooting
