You are one of the biggest and most annoying pricks I've seen surfing the Internet.

@OP: Look at the Plasma Pistol weapon file, and then compare it to the Energy Sword. I'm not sure but I think there is a value for it somewhere in Guerilla.

I looked in my h3t grav hammer (yes leaked) and it had a magazine,if I gave the energy sword one would it reload and stuff,also If I mess up trying to make my sword have a battery using the plasma pistol I might make so it would overheat,cmon one of you guys who viewed this thread knows how to but is too lazy to respond I'm sure so please just tell me before I eff up my sword and turn it into a vegitable :c

all I want to know is,how do I take my energy sword,give a battery that says one hundred when I pick it up,and when I pull the trigger and swing the sword,it takes 5 away from that one hundred,in other words, where would I find the option in guerilla to give it one hundred rather than infinite ammo,and lose 5 whenever it's fired.people have done it before, example, b40 modified-v4.

Copy the values from the plasma pistol weapon tag, but tweak it for 5 battery. Also, you can't remove battery life from melees, which makes it a futile attempt to limit the number of swings / slashes.

How about the portion that says "age generated per round"?
1 is 100%, 0.01 is 1%. Do the math to figure out how much you should put.

I figured that out but does it automatically give the sword a battery when I set that?because that would answer my question from the beginning is where you set how much it takes away,and how you set the battery

also it says I can only use a number between 0 and 1,wait by 1 does that mean it removes the whole battery?

there is one other way that i know has worked in the past but its kind...unnecessary. you could make the "shooting" animation the sword swingin or watever, and create a projectile with no model that destroys itself at a certain very short distance from its origin and then make it take away from the battery every time this projectile is fired. this would essentialy make a "fake" melee effect.

Yea... if you read what I said. 1 is 100%. If you put a 2, you would take away 200% every time you fired a projectile. However, lovely Guerilla restricts that. Let's use our brain here for a moment. Basic math lesson:

0.01 = 1% every time you fire
x = 5% every time you fire

Solve for x.

To display a battery, you need to use a HUD that USES a battery...
Specifically, one that uses "master plasma" as a child HUD.

Judging from your previous problems, it's safe to assume you're not a HUD expert. Don't. Touch. Anything. Instead, change the HUD to a plasma pistol HUD.
