Ok here is an example of the top of my head... 1) Create a variable to act as counter. 2) Create a TEXT object with the string set as the longest gun name. 3) Create a function for the Q and E keys, which inside increments the counter. 4) Check the counter number against gun number or something 5) Finally change the TEXT object's string by using str_cpy( my_text.string[0], "Gun name here!!!" ); Here is an example to clear things up. Just copy all of this into a blank WDL file and then run it. Press Q & E and the weapon names will switch.
var gun_number=1;
TEXT gun_label
{
pos_x=0;
pos_y=0;
string="Rocket Launcher";
flags=VISIBLE;
}
function check_weapon()
{
if(gun_number==1){str_cpy(gun_label.string[0], "Machine Gun");}
if(gun_number==2){str_cpy(gun_label.string[0], "Shotgun");}
if(gun_number==3){str_cpy(gun_label.string[0], "Rocket Launcher");}
if(gun_number==4){str_cpy(gun_label.string[0], "Shock Rifle");}
if(gun_number==5){str_cpy(gun_label.string[0], "Railgun");}
}
function prev_weapon()
{
if (gun_number==5){gun_number=1;}else{gun_number+=1;}
check_weapon();
}
function next_weapon()
{
if (gun_number==1){gun_number=5;}else{gun_number-=1;}
check_weapon();
}
function main()
{
vec_set(screen_color,vector(255,0,0)); // set background to prevent blur rendering
check_weapon();
on_q=prev_weapon;
on_e=next_weapon;
}
I've built this example with 5 weapons although it is easy to add more. Just make sure that the TEXT object's string is set to the longest name of a weapon.

It works correctly if i do what u said and put it in a separate file. But i tried using the code in my current project and it doesn't work. I have the two weapons, and the first line of each says this, action ak47
{
gun_number = 1;
...
}
action mp5
{
gun_number = 2;
...
}
Now when i start the game, the AK47 string loads along with the gun, but when i pick up the mp5, the string does not update. (the check function of mine is the same as yours). Any ideas?

No, don't call it straight away in the action.
When you pick up a certain weapon, set the gun_number and then call the check function.

An icky alternative, for those that don't want it (probably most).
var gun_id = 0;
define guns_max = 8; // only 8 guns in this game
TEXT gun_strs {
pos_x = 0;
pos_y = 0;
strings = guns_max;
string = "Mental Manni's Middle Finger";
string = "Machine Gun";
string = "Shotgun";
string = "Rocket Launcher";
string = "Granny Panties";
string = "Bear Trap";
string = "Rolling Papers";
string = "Bob Saget's Decapitated Head";
}
// add to above
TEXT gun_display {
pos_x = 0;
pos_y = 0;
strings = 1;
}
function gun_show(gunn_id) {
gunn_id %= guns_max;
str_cpy(gun_display.string[0], gun_strs.string[gunn_id]);
return(gunn_id);
}
function gun_next() {
gun_id += 1; gun_id = gun_show(gun_id);
}
function gun_prev() {
gun_id -= 1; gun_id = gun_show(gun_id);
}
define _gun_id, skill?;
function gun_grab_event() {
my.event_impact = NULL;
gun_show(my._gun_id);
my._gun_id = -1;
}
function gun_spawn(gunn_id);
my._gun_id = gunn_id;
my.enable_impact = on;
my.event_impact = gun_grab_event;
while(ME != NULL) {
if (my._gun_id <= -1) {
break;
}
wait(1);
}
ent_remove(me);
}
Just ignore that, if appropriate.
