where to find where the ammo is associated to the weapon

[jimyh]

Hi all, im browsing through the xml files and was thinking about making a rocket launcher turret (just for fun, and to see if i can do it). however i cannot find where the ammunition is associated to the weapon, any help would be appreciated. 

 

Im a noob just trying to learn how to modify xml files so please be kind.

Well for the Pistol (gunHandgunT1Pistol in items.xml) there is a tag "9mmGun". Then further below there is a property line "Magazine_items" with a list of all bullet types i.e. 9mm normal, AP and HP.

 

The tag may be mostly for proper attribution, i.e. if some code wants to do something depending on the ammo used. The "Magazine_items" seems to be the important line as it actually lists the ammo that is allowed to be loaded.

Are you just explaining or still not sure?

 

If the latter: "Magazine_items" is the important line. Because the turret has no ammo tag but it has the "Magazine_items" line as well that lists the turret ammo. Just try it, find that line in your turret and add whatever ammo you want. Then test it

Even though you were answering someone else, I am working on my Fallout based mod, and you just told me how to add a really nice touch to it.

THANK YOU!
