I have managed to implement an ammo handling system in a weapon pickup using ZScript.
The idea is that the ammo obtained from the weapon depends on the ammo that the magazine has, once we have killed the enemy.
I leave you an image explaining the mechanics.
Fig.1 - If we are faster than the enemy, we can get the weapon and all its ammo.
Fig.2 - But if the enemy manages to shoot, and we can return fire from him. We'll get what's left in the weapon.
The pickup works like this.
- A) If we don't have the weapon in our arsenal, the player will be able to pick it up without problems. And the ammo obtained will be available in the magazine, regardless of the amount present when picked up.
- B) If we have the weapon, the player collects only the ammo present in the magazine of the weapon, which is added to the total of our inventory, and the empty weapon (without the magazine) is spawned.
- C) If the weapon doesn't have ammo in the magazine, the same verification is made as in the previous points. That is, if we already have the weapon, we will not be able to pick it up for obvious reasons. Otherwise, you'll have a functional gun with no ammunition (and a lot of bad luck
).
- D) In case we want to drop the weapon, it will come out with the ammo that is left in the magazine. Functioning the same as if the enemy dropped it.
The weapon can be used by typing 'summon rifle' into the console or by killing a Zombieman.
Here is a video of the system in action.

You can use it freely in your projects, I only ask for credit in return.
