Degenerate ammo.

[hello123]

I want the pistol to loose 1 ammo per sec, or something similar.
In the pistols "ItemPostFrame"

	float AMMO_PER_SECOND = -1;
    int decreaseammo = AMMO_PER_SECOND * gpGlobals->curtime;
	pOwner->RemoveAmmo( decreaseammo, m_iClip1);

That dosent do anything?

You try this :

float AMMO_PER_SECOND = -1;
float flNextDecreaseTime;//put this in class declarations
float time = 1.0f//I don't know how long is a second
 in frames
if( flNextDecreaseTime >= gpGlobals->curtime )
{
pOwner->RemoveAmmo( AMMO_PER_SECOND, m_iClip1);
flNextDecreaseTime = gpGlobals->curtime + time;
}

In Constructor:

flNextDecreaseTime = gpGlobals->curtime;

are your going for a gametype? if so could you try a brush Entity, and in your ::Ontouch
function and just decrement the current player's, current weapon ammo?

Thanks for replying, sadly, it still dosen't change anything.

No, not a gametype, thanks though.

Try put my code in ItemPreFrame.

Nope, I did try it before, with my own code too, and sadly, no luck.

no need for the "pOwner->RemoveAmmo"

just do "m_iClip1 -= AMMO_PER_WHATEVER"

EDIT: Actually doing a pOwner->RemoveAmmo will just confuse the living hell out of the CBasePlayer class. It's expecting an ammo type, not a variable on the CBaseCombatWeapon entity.

Guns store the bullets in the clip, players store the ammo in reserve.

Likewise, if you wanted the player to lose a bullet from the reserve (where reloads come from) do

pOwner->RemoveAmmo( m_iPrimaryAmmoType, AMMO_PER_WHATEVER )

Oh thanks! ^^
