This is driving me MAD !

I have built a basic map (fy_woodworld fwiw) and have dropped weapons etc for pickup. However I have not managed to set the ammo in the weapons to anything other than the standard 1 clip. Very annoying if you pick up a deagle with just 7 shells !

First problem is how to do this - I guess a trigger can be used ?

Second problem is does anyone know what all the different ammo names are ?

Surely someone, somewhere knows....

I don't know much about CS:S, but you might try using a game_player_equip, or whatever it's replacement in HL2 is, to give everyone lots of ammo to start with. [addsig]

I know how to equip the ammo I think, it's the names of the ammo that is a problem. I think the ammo for the deagle is called ammo_ea or something. It's the other names I need !

i think that if you use a trigger ontop of the deagle weaon and set it to spawn some ammo from the trigger it might work, im not too sure what the ammo is called tho..

Thank goodness no one else has figured this out either -- the last thing the world needs is more fy_ maps.

Why don't you 2 guys post positive feedback like maybe on how to place ammo rather then complain about fy maps.

As for placing ammo I too am having this problem. I will try to figure it out and post an answer here if I find one <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Ok I figured it out. First place a game_player_equip and choose a unique name for it. I choose equip_tmp. Go to its properties by hitting ALT and Enter. Click the SmartEdit button. Click the Add button and set the key as the ammo name. I used ammo_9mm for the TMP. Set the value as the number of clips you wish to give. I choose 2. Then click the Flags tab and check the Use only checkbox. Now click the Apply button and close that window. Now place your weapon. In this case the TMP which is weapon_tmp. Go to the properties for this weapon (ALT Enter again). Click the Outputs tab. Click the Add button. On the dropdowns set as follows: My output named OnPlayerPickup, Target entities named equip_tmp. Check the Fire only once checkbox. Now click Apply and you should be set. You will have to do this for every weapon you wish to place. If you place more then one of the same weapon then they can share the same game_player_equip.
