Just wondering, how do you make it so that a weapon fires different kinds of ammo on different shots? Example; the MPAM's shotgun fires bullets, then explosive rounds. I tried looking at the weapon text for the shotgun but I couldn't really discern anything from that. I also searched Mod Making for "Alternate Ammo" but nothing came up.

It's simple, really. Tracer rounds. You can have the regular round as an MOPixel,
and the tracer as an ACDropShip if you want to. Just be sure to define two different
rounds... And no, you can't have eleven different tracers. One regular, one tracer.

So you can have only two in one gun?

Well, that pretty much answered my question, thanks Mods can lock this.

How do you make it so tracer bullets shoot at a certain ammo number?
Like how numgun's splazer (Spartan Las(z)er) shoots at like, 100 ammo.

Er, well I haven't started modding yet (just wanted to know this if I start) but I'm pretty sure you alter the amount of tracers the same way you alter the amount of bullets fired in one shot (is it particlecount or something?)

RTTRatio.

As in, Round to Tracer Ratio.

actually You make make it fire 3 differnt.
you have the shells.

It's actually 4 if you remember the shell tracers.

5, What ever happened to the magazines?

While we're at it, you can throw your gun, too. 6.

Throwing yourself at someone counts, too, so 7.

I dare someone to make a weapon that shoots 6-7 differnt ammos

You could make a gun that fires something that gibs into 6-7 different things.

Don't forget the guy you shoot at! Now that's 8.


by "ammos", i assume you mean rounds?

well, you could get millions of different projectiles, make the round a mosrotating or similar which explodes into *large number* of different projectiles.
therefore, you can technically shoot a gazillion different types of round.
