hello,

i have tried to add some things to the weaponscript from AUM 59.

i´ve wanted to add a stand, shot, reload animation, and choose weapon / holster weapon animation . the shot animation seems to work but if you push the mouse button faster the animation gets faster too. i don´t know how to fix it.

There are some problems with the reload animation and the ammo panel (i have add an ammo panel too).

the script plays the reload animation if the current ammo is full. i´ve got some problems with the panel in general. i think i´ve been confused by all variables.(current_ammo, maxcurrent_ammo, current_ammoreserve, maxcurrent_ammoreserve, ammocounter...) . i´ve lost the track of things.

the idle / stand animation is missing, i have no idea how to manage it with the other animations and i want to be able to switch between weapons. i don´t know how to add more guns and the ammo types, choosing them by key 1, 2 and so on, and playing the switch animation when change the weapon.

in general i am not sure if the way i add the animation is the right or lets say efficent way.

it would be very nice if you can help me, please. i am desperate.:

here is the code:

var trace_coords;
var weapon_height;

var ammocounter = 0;
var current_ammo = 18;
var maxcurrent_ammo = 18;

var current_ammoreserve = 0;
var maxcurrent_ammoreserve = 180;

you have got many problems and i cant check the whole script , please post only the parts that dont work with you
