Ego Ammo Creation

[Zaive]

With the addition of ammo egos in Beta 8, could ammo creation have a higher chance of giving ammos with an ego at higher skill levels?
It would make the skill less of a 1 point wonder, maybe.

Also, would it be possible to add a low ammo warning?

Here is a patch against b8 for a low ammo warning. Any suggestions on what the warning level should be? I set it to 10 for now.

Code: Select all

I would say 50 arrows. Before the advent of ego arrows I'd have said 99. [However, alert at 50 and 40 and 25 before giving repeated messages.]

Hmmm, well currently you get repeating messages for anything under 10. I guess you could do:

Code: Select all

+   local qty = ammo:getNumber()
+   if qty == 50 or qty == 40 or qty <= 25 then

However, if you use multiple shots you risk skipping over the 50 and 40 marks. You would have to add a stored variable to the player to do a better check... not sure what DG wants to do in that case.

Done....? Does that just mean the ammo warning or is the ego ammo create there too?
