So, I've been thinking about doing this for a long time, but I just have no idea on how I'm going to accomplish this task. I want to have it so when the player is getting low on ammo, the player's character will say something like 'Getting low on ammo here,' 'Need to round up some rounds,' etc. And when the player does run out of ammo, the character will would say stuff like 'No ammo!' 'Sh*t, no ammo!' etc. Anyone care to help me figure out a way? And if possible, as simple as possible. I though I better figure this out now and have it done.

I would advise using ACS with decorate for more flexibility, but here is a decorate-only basic example that should give you some idea.



This is a pistol that when it gets low on ammo it plays a sound (low ammo sound) and when it runs out of ammo it plays a different sound (no ammo sound). In other words, when you have 49 bullets after the last shot you shot, the low ammo sound will be played and when you have zero bullets after the last shot you shot, the no ammo sound will be played in this case.

If you are interested why I chose 49 as "low", that is because of ZDoom's alternative hud displaying the ammo counter in red if you have 49 bullets or less and no backpack.

That will work just fine. Thanks Blue Shadow!

Blugh, ugly DECORATE like that is why I use ACS for such things. But I suppose if it works...

It really helps to use named states instead of offsets, the latter of which can break horribly if code is changed slightly (and can be hard to spot in the process).

That's neat.. I could use something similiar in my wad also, but I had an idea.. that I would like to accomplish.. what if the player could yell variable statements after killing an enemy? Ya know, like in duke3d? any ideas? I tought that maybe the players decorate could be altered likewise.. but I highly doubt thats gonna work.. and if the monsters decorate is altered, the sound is too far away.. or can you set sound samples volume in sndinfo? Ideas?
