(Solved!) How do I make a text ammo counter?

35.4k blt  8 months ago


Where is it?


I’ve never used FT, but i’d like to know how i can make a FT ammo counter for my assault rifle. For a cannon input.


And by the way, yes that means another teaser for the legendary weapon. This is another Iconic weapon that any halo fan can spot easily. Feel free to guess. It shouldn’t be that hard because it’s the staple of multiple game covers in Halo.

    @Kerbango that’s… impossible. Surely.

    Ammo count doesn’t do anything with guns, and guns aren’t a selectable weapon.

    @Graingy I see where y'all changed the variable of the cannon to add name.
    I was wondering if the same thing is available on wing gun and mini-gun.
    to get ammo count.

    @Graingy @blt change the id # to make "WeaponNameOfYourChoosing"?
    If not, which variable do I change to make "WeaponNameOfYourChoosing"
    I see that name sticks in the cannon. Have you been able to change a mini-gun name?

    @Graingy I just needed to reduce the space between the weapon name and the ammo count lol. The ammo counts for the stock craft are all single digit

    @blt keep in mind the text size but doesn’t impact the function. It’s just used to make it appear and disappear.

    @Graingy Hm. So you’re saying if i name the cannon ma5b and replace string with ma5b, it’ll show the ammo on text?
