Hi coders,
I am trying to limit the ammo pile usage to 1 clip per usage but the script below always assigns the maximum of 360 ammo for rifle (for example).

PHP Code:

HookEvent("ammo_pickup", Event_AmmoPickup, EventHookMode_Pre);

public Action:Event_AmmoPickup(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid")); //get the userid of the player picking up ammo
    new weapon = GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client, 0); //get his primary 1 weapon
        
    new m_iPrimaryAmmoType = GetEntProp(weapon, Prop_Send, "m_iPrimaryAmmoType"); // Ammo type
    new m_iClip1 = -1;
    new m_iAmmo_prim     = -1;
    // Primary ammo
    if(m_iPrimaryAmmoType != -1)
    {
        m_iClip1 = GetEntProp(weapon, Prop_Send, "m_iClip1"); // weapon clip amount bullets
        m_iAmmo_prim = GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iAmmo", _, m_iPrimaryAmmoType); // Player ammunition for this weapon ammo type
        PrintToChatAll("iClip1 %i iAmmo_prim %i", m_iClip1, m_iAmmo_prim);
        //SetEntProp(weapon, Prop_Send, "m_iClip1", 20); // Set weapon clip ammunition
        SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iAmmo", m_iAmmo_prim, _, m_iPrimaryAmmoType); // Set player ammunition of this weapon primary ammo type
    }
    return Plugin_Handled;
} 


I thought "m_iAmmo_prim" would deliver the current amount of ammo the player has got, but it always returns the maximum possible obviously. Any ideas how to retrieve the CURRENT amount of ammo for the player or what I am doing wrong here?

Next time try to search or google the exact problem you have, that's why it's there.

Possibly try this, you maybe missed it?

I read this thread several times. It's almost the same method but he works with offsets. I tried to copy his code and received the same results.

I googled and searched everything for iAmmo but it doesnt return the actual amount the player has but the maximum possible.

O..o well... idk if it'd work but what about when a client activates the ammo pickup event, get his weapon with GetClientWeapon, then GiveWeaponAmmo to that client based on what weapon it is, then return plugin handled?

I can set a value of 99 ammo or whatever. But I cant get the current amount of ammo or add anything. Just set the amount.

Why the heck are you not using the convars?

ammo_assaultrifle_max = 50
ammo_buckshot_max = 10
ammo_huntingrifle_max = 15
ammo_smg_max = 50

Because I am trying to limit the amount of ammo in an ammo pile not the maximum amount of ammo in a gun.

To limit the ammo file you are gonna have to do alot more scripting, first off you need to get the entitiy, second you need to store a value on how much ammo the survivors can take before it disappears. There is a plugin that uses that method but only limits the uses not the actually amount. Perhaps you should check it out and expand from there...

I did examine that plugin. It is clear to me what it does. I have all the code I need. I just cant get the value for the amount of ammo the survivor deploys. But I think this is because its not there. The game just sets ammo to max when using the pile. A guy tried to limit ammo pile usage to 1 clip and failed also

Try both events, one for pre, one for post. Try to get the player's ammo on pre, and calculate how much they need based on post. Then subtract the amount from your entity's total. Once it reaches zero, kill the entity?
