Would it be possible to make a module that makes variables for ammunition, each time a person shoots, it goes down. each ship would have different amounts. there would also be a way to buy ammo. If so, that's sweet. I can probably attempt pretty well at it, so i'll try. just seeing if maybe someone already made one or can make it in 1 minute lol.

Edit: What module includes the the "shoot" function, or the coding that recgonizes a player shooting a bullet.

Um, yeah, Bak made one for his PB zone. I don't know if he's willing to distribute it, though. I don't think it would be incredibly easy to do it, though(I mean, there's no CB_GUNFIRE, I'd be clueless on how to actually track that, maybe it involves packets?), but if you think you can do it, then you might want to try it. I suggest checking with Bak just in case he doesn't mind handing it out, though.

Bak is big on open source, i dont think he would mind giving you the module...or maybe when it comes to his zone hes anti-open source..dunno, give it a shot and ask em.

here's all the (custom) modules for paintall: http://rshl.org/bak/Custom_Code.zip

don't bug me too much about how it works, it'll probably need to be modified for what you need. the PBInventory module does the part that you're thinking of, but it also does some other things. Basicly you can listen to position packets from players (which may contain weapons chunks), if they do subtract one from their ammo, deprize guns if they're out. PBItems lets people pick up ammo of the map and reprizes guns if necessary.

again, you'll probably need a coder to make sense of it all.

I am very interested in this too, as it is one of the milestones I want to achieve. Bak, the link you gave is not working, do you have another link to download this from?

Link says server not found for me, and if I just try to save the file in this thread, it's corrupt.

rshl.org renews it's web hosting on april 1st... so it's usually down for a day or two around now... try again it should work.

I'd like to get this module but the link is probably too old. Is it still available?

Sorry, but that link doesn't work either. Should I check back at a different time and see if the server is online?

The connection with the server gets reset for some reason.
