I made the attack of the gun consume a bullet but it only works as a spell.
When used as a basic weapon, its shots are still infinite, is there a way to make a standard gun attack require bullets?

edit: (so when the character has ran out of bullets, either he can't attack at all, maybe use a speal instead if he has MP or possibly make the gun cause a different attack like hitting the enemy with the gun?)

I think the nightlies have "Chain-instead"...

Lessee... have the base attack chain instead to the shoot attack if "have bullets" tag is on, have the shoot attack consume bullets...

Thank {this.dietyName} for Chain-instead

Make sure you're using the most recent nightly.

You should be able to use the "is in inventory" tag on the bullet item.

i did, without bullets it works, she just hits them with the gun and shoots when you buy some but the thing is, when the bullets are all used up, the gun still fires, (maybe because the tag is till on when the bullets were in the inventory)... What i have to do is to set the "has bullets" tag to off when there are no more bullets in the inventory, but how do i do that?

Wow it was that easy! Oh, and thanks!

I'm thinking, in games like fallout 1 and 2, you can miss some turn to change your weapon. Can i do the same in ohr?

I'm thinking of using the unequip, change equipment and equip where plotscripts but can you do that in battle? And another problem is opening the menu in battle. I think it would be easier to just let the attack run a script?

Like:

1. weapon can be used as an item in battle and it is equiped when used like that.
2. using the item like that unequips the current weapon
3. ex. beam rifle ran out of energy packs ---> open item menu ---> use handgun ---> display: "weapon changed"
4. next turn the character attacks with handgun until bullets are depleted and she decides to change again. if all bullets are spent, she can choose knives or even unarmed...

Is this possible?

----------

Character sheet in the selection screen show weapon proficiencies so it could really be exciting to have them re-equiping in battle...

I'm gonna point this outdead quick (and I'm sorry that this is a tad off-topic, + you're gonna hate me for this but...)

You spelt couldn't as cound't (twice) and (I think) when you wrote cap you meant chap prehaps? I don't know about that second one but definately check your spelling of couldn't. Sorry, thought I'd just point this early on, sorry about that.
