About : Usually, M60s drop and auto delete themselves when they run empty, this plugin prevents this issue while also fixing other various bugs that occur with having an empty M60.

This plugin was based on prevent_m60_remove by birno, while also borrowing a small snippet from guncontrol by AtomicStryker.


How it works :
It's a secret!

Version 1.0    07-17-2015
- Initial Release

KNOWN ISSUES/BUGS

- If you continue to hold down Fire with an empty M60 it'll prevent reload
- Empty M60s are not supposed to be able to utilize Upgraded Ammo, I tried to fix this bug but sometimes the ammo count is incorrect
- (Not a bug or Issue) If you utilize the ammo_m60_max cvar, utilizing ammo piles with an M60 will refuel your reserve ammo (This is a plugin feature).
- Utilizing the above cvar and the guncontrol plugin, it is possible to obtain infinite ammo with an m60, a countermeasure to this was included in this plugin
- Sometimes switching from another weapon to an M60 with 1 bullet while holding fire will empty your M60 without actually using the bullet, this is a bug with the detection in the system and not the plugin
- (NOT A PLUGIN BUG, THIS IS A GAME ENGINE BUG) If you use a hold fire on a throwable, and attempt to cancel by switching to the M60, you will be unable to switch and instead the throwing animation will repeat until you finally release your throwable
- Usually, if an empty M60 is dropped, you are unable to pick them up by any means, however this plugin allows you to pick them up, which is otherwise impossible
- (GAME ENGINE BUG) If you drop an M60 with reserve ammo, when someone else picks it up it will lose all of it's reserve ammo

Neat quality of life plugin.

Couple suggestions/concerns.

1. Add the 'grabbing ammo' sound when getting the ammo, otherwise people might realize they got it without looking at the hud, because there is no sound otherwise.

2. I think this might conflict with the Bots T3 plugin, from what I can tell, the bots never drop the 60 now, which is obviously the main point of the plugin. Though the bots do seem to try and reload the 60 manually. I think if its not already an idea or done, you should force the bots to grab ammo for the 60 if possible.

3. Same ideas for the 60 would be good for the Nade Launcher, add in the ammo sound and allow it to be reloaded by the bots and humans alike.

For #1, the grabbing ammo sound should be pretty easy, I doubt I can get the visual effect to pop up though, but I guess a hint message should easily replace that.

For #2, I never really tested this plugin on bots, however, I don't really know how easy it'd to make bots grab ammo without making it either very restrictive and situational, or making it work but they'd prob walk up to it multiple times or maybe even try to infinitely replenish their ammo until you get far away enough.

The way the ammo replenish works is, you don't really get ammo off of the ammo piles, but rather, when you press +Use on an ammo pile, we edit your ammo value and give max ammo by obtaining it off of the ammo_m60_max cvar, I don't really think bots actually press +Use on Ammo piles with M60s or Grenade launchers equipped, I could look into it, but I really don't know what I should be expecting.

For #3 it's be easy as pie, all I'd need to do is add the Grenade Launcher in the same way M60s work.

if you have a bug that when switching weapons it auto-switches back again, try to replace the code

if (buttons & IN_ATTACK)

with:

if (buttons == 1)

this makes sure that only when not pressing other buttons/keys and pressing fire the function will execute
the problem is that the last weapon used key is a client-only key, it does not exist in sourcemod includes, so when you are in battle and need to change weapons fast, the change is prevented because the weapon is quickly re-changed, unfortunately this also means that when you are in battle with M60, the prevention of drop will probably not happen, so you should try to avoid running out of M60 and pressing anything other than fire button at the same time

By doing that, you're removing the function and the purpose of the plugin of what it is supposed to do. DeathChaos made it that way so you can never drop your equipped M60.

Hi DC, are you still working on this plugin?

[Pyc]

with this plugin I can't switch from grenade to another slot, if I take grenade and hold mouse1 (can't undo grenade)

Also, can we remove the mini text box that states no infinite ammo for you? It doesn't disappear when you pick up an M60, it might be too annoying when appearing always. I don't mind using the other plugin that is similar to this like the one given on the link

for some reason fast melee stops working when we have this installed
