Weapons With Clips?

[Thisguyright]

How exactly is this done? Can someone explain it to me so I can replicate it as well as giving me an example?

Do you mean reloading? If so, then what kind of reloading?

The kind where you actually have clips and reloading with a near full clip is a waste?

The standard modern FPS style where the weapon is just refilled?

Or shotgun style bullet-by-bullet?

I'm trying to figure out how to do both, shotgun and wasted ammo style, I'm making a total conversion with realism in mind.

I once wrote a tutorial explaining DoomRater's (actually somewhat dated) method with ActionReload over at the DRD forums. Now that custom state labels are supported, you can actually make the reload sequence a hell of a lot less complicated, you'll probably get a lot of use out of looking at the code in this unfinished mod of mine since I put a lot of work into commenting out the code.

Another way to look at is to consider the number of rounds in a reload sequence, and the ammo capacity of the weapon. For most magazine-fed weapons, the number of rounds in a reload sequence equals the ammo capacity, so you only get to run the reload sequence once before the weapon is fully loaded. However, for, say, a pump-action shotgun, the rumber of rounds in the reload sequence is one, so you simply repeat the sequence until the weapon is full.

If you're going to discard the unused ammo in the weapon on reload, then you simply set the ammo in the weapon to zero, and run your reload sequence. If you're not going to discard, and a reload is actually a top up, then you can simply move the contents of the weapon to your bulk inventory before you reload.

I believe my [wiki]Xim's Weapon and Enemies WAD[/wiki] has the style of reloading you're looking for Thisguyright. The DECORATE coding isn't the best in the world, but you can check that out too if you want.

I can help, too, I've done quite a bit with reloading. Also, it is magazine, not clip, in most cases.

My reloading usually accounts for rounds in the chamber, if that's something you want.

Thank you all so much! I'm currently on my other computer, but I'll take a look at all these as soon as I can.
