[HELP] A better way to alter the capacity of existing ammo?

Hey, so, for this ZHexen thing I've been poking at, I'm interested in changing the Maximum amount of mana at start from 200 to 100 and making it upgradeable. The only effective method I can find for this is to make a new ammo type and go write DECORATE for every weapon and override it to use that new ammo type.

Does anyone know a better way to do that? I feel like this should be a common functionality, but with the native ammo decorate, I have to do this large-scale workaround...

That's one way to do it. Not sure I want to, because it's a bit hard to figure out when it should happen in the game, and it's another workaround, but I'm aware of this...

That's the ONLY way to do it. Of course you can also pull out ZScript, where you do not even need a function for that and you can modify the item's MaxAmount value directly.

Well then, I guess it's time to delve into ZScript!

Thanks for putting that feature in there. :3
