Great to hear this. What about the other points from my post, are You able to implement them?

[TnTSCS]

Yes. Sorry I should have done a point by point. I'm working on all of your suggestions. I'm at work now so don't expect for a few hours

Roger that.

As i said some of mine players (and me) is stucking on spawn whit the ammo create... making to shot 2 or 3 times to get the box away before move... i think is the spawn box given for ammo from a awp.... i can show to u easily the issue if u want.

@TnTSCS
1) Is there any way to make those models be dropped like weapon models; throw them always in front of the player with a weak straight throwing force, so You can re-collect Your own dropped box, while running?

2) Maybe move the ammo box'es spawn position to player's belt? Also is it possible to move the spawn position out of the player's model, so it won't touch the player, while spawning?

3) I've also noticed those boxes are colliding with player's legs just after drop, so a weak throw vector and higher spawn position is needed I think.

[TnTSCS]

Yes, I'll work on #1 and have it get thrown a bit in front of the player

For #2, I can just increase one of the vectors a bit so the model gets spawned about belt level. If I have the ammo model spawn outside of where the player is, it might get created in a wall if the player is next to one

To answer both #2 and #3, I'm going to work on creating the ammo box after the weapon is dropped... This would make the ammo box appear much closer to where the weapon is... instead of creating the ammo model from the player, it would come from the weapon...

thoughts?

Sounds great for me ;]. All we need is ability to drop weapon+ammo box, while running and be able to re-collect the weapon first and then ammo box, cause we can't collect the box without a weapon ;]

EDIT:
So You could use Your idea of spawning boxes from weapon, but a little throwing force could be useful to make the boxes flying further than weapon, to be able to re-collect the weapon first and then re-collect the ammo box ;]

[TnTSCS]

or maybe a little timer CVar that ammo won't spawn for the dropped weapon until after n seconds... maybe allow for up to 3 seconds, but default it to 1.5?

A player who has an AK47 who kills another player who has an AK47 would still be able to pickup the ammo from that dropped gun before the timer is up, it just won't create an ammo box for it until that timer expires (and no one took all of the extra ammo before it expired)...

just throwing out ideas
