Ammo types #

Featureful SDK provides a set of predefined ammo types. Internally the ammo type is presented by a name and the max amount player can carry.

Some ammo types are not used by any weapons by default. These are defined for developer’s convenience if they want to configure some weapon to use a different ammo type via the weapon templates.

While technically it’s perfectly possible to allow registering custom new ammo types by a mod developer, the GoldSource has some technical limitations that prevent dynamic creation of new classnames for ammo entities, and registering a new ammo type without registering a new entity wouldn’t be so useful.

Managing player’s ammo #

Besides giving the ammo by ammo pickup entities, Featureful SDK provides other means to control player’s ammo:

game_player_settings - allows to give, set or remove player’s ammo.
player_calc_ratio - allows to check the current amount of player’s ammo.

Configuring max ammo #

The max ammo carried by the player can be configured via features/maxammo.cfg.

Example:

9mm 200
buckshot 60
bolts 20
