How do you use Lua to find a magazine on a gun?
Can you force a gun to not reload when it's empty?
Can you change the RoundCount of a magazine?

1. If it has GetsHitByMOs on, you can find it with the standard MO-finding technique. Otherwise, ther eis no way.
2. As far as I know, no. You can give it a massive reload time, maybe.
3. Nope.

For some reason the magazine isn't being detected when it's GetsHitByMOs = 1.

Code:
   for i = 1,MovableMan:GetMOIDCount()-1 do
      mag = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
   if mag.ClassName == "Magazine" and mag.RootID == self.parent.ID then
   mag.ToDelete = true;
   mag.LifeTime = 0;
   print("mag delete");
   end
end

Is self.parent an actor or a weapon?

Or make the magazine gib into something that instantly kills the nearest gun. So that when the gun tries to reload, it just breaks. Yeah, that's stupid.

I think you got this from Ballistic Weapons' Railgun. ( The magazine gibs in three seconds, so you literally only have three seconds to fire )
But the thing used .ini trickery ( lifetime = 3000 ) I think you are trying to get a realistic ammo system, so you will need lua so it can go from can't reload to reload.

I think I got that from my head. And I want the mag to dissapear under a specific circumstance, not after a set time limit when you draw your weapon.

Have it put a thingmajigg on the actor, that makes it check if there is a rocket/bullet/whatever being fired away from him, and have it check lifetime too. And have the script terminate if the weapon is dropped and one has no more of them in inventory.

That sounds good. Will try.

Edit: Success! Thanks Lizard and everyone else.
