How would you get a grunt to drop needler ammo? Also same thing with marines how would you get them to drop AR Ammo?

Make their dying effect spawn the .equipment? There's another method, but I just can't bring it to mind.

Is there any other way to do this? Also I tried looking for the Dying Effect but, it was'nt there.

I think it's in the biped tag, I can't remember exactly where, but I think it's near where you specify the grenades it carries.

Doesnt it already drop ammo when the weapon is dropped.

It's in the actor variant. At the very bottom, where it says amount of grenades dropped, there's an equipment box. Put the needler ammo there.

lol, in halo 1, the needler is the ONLY covenant weapon you can reload =P

but yea it's there... mr gamma here always awnsers first...

I fail to see anything funny there.

too bad for you =/ you should read the novels to get what i mean, and even if, you'd probably not get it anyways.

looking at your recent posts, can you come up with more positiv stuff? 'cus damn... you don't look like a nice lad =/

1. I own all of the novels. Still nothing funny.

2. It's not my job to be nice.

But I kill them and, noting comes out besides grenades >.> 06.23.09 16:57:48 local player 0, weapon (0x0), deleted unexpectedly

Oh, I don't think ammo counts as a powerup. According to this, you can only have them drop powerups.

try using the 'grenade' fields maybe?

^but that would make then drop nade then... He wants ammo powerups not grenades.
Though i like nade more than powerups.

Then do it with the .effect method.

1. Make a new .effect tag.
2. Add a new location, no need to put a name.
3. Add a new event, don't change the settings.
4. Add a new part.
5. Change the "location" to 0. effect_locations_block.
6. Add the .equipment tag in the type.
7. Save the tag.
8. Open the collision geometry.
9. This bit, I'm not too sure about. For, say, the marine, change the destroyed threshold to 50.
10. Add your .effect in the body destroyed effect.

why must everything have an effect method D;

read, gamma. you gunna have to put them in the "grenade fields"

needler ammo is also picked up from the gun, like any Human weapon, why bother putting ammo? it's not a use-once gun

Ok, but, an easier way to do it? I tried the effect but, it did'nt work. I don't know if i'm doing something wrong?

It should work. Try again. Did debug give anything?

BtW, what's the point of having ppl drop ammo when its dropped with the gun anyway?

make it look more realistic? as in real life, ammo is found in ammo packs, not all the ammo is stuffed into the gun

If you master at least this much, you can have them drop more useful items, like powerups, or warthogs.

You just inspired the greatest idea ever: nuke grenades.

Maybe the ammo packs are ON the gun :p
