I'm stuck and need other modders help!

Alright, so we have a bow that has it's AmmoType=HomemadeArrows

 

But, well of course, it doesn't use the arrows at all. It just shoots like one of those shoot em' up games. Anyway, is there a way to stop this from happening? Tried almost every trick in the book.. But nope.

Maybe you should post your code. From this post I can't figure out what the problem is.

 

Also what do you mean with "it just shoots like one of those shoot em' up games"?

[Austin]

I mean, it doesn't need ammo, at all..

 

and there isn't really much code to post..

Alright, apologies.

 

The weapons weren't actually even getting the ammo.. So I created a new .lua, just to keep separate from the distribution file, and added a new function. I looked through all the files looking for some way of getting the PrimaryHandItem. I found it. I also looked through(with some help from Aricane) stormy's reloading code. Hook.Attack.Add. That was the code I used to trigger on attack. So the code I ended up with was...

function checkInvForAmmo(character, chargeDelta)	local weapon = character:getPrimaryHandItem();	local inventory = character:getInventory();	if weapon:getType() == "bow0" then		if inventory:contains("Bolts") then			character:DoAttack(chargeDelta);			inventory:RemoveOneOf("Bolts");			else			character:setPrimaryHandItem(nil);			character:say("I'm out of ammo for that weapon!");		end	endendHook.Attack.Add(checkInvForAmmo);
