....... dude u dont import spells, when you download the Zip file, or the w3x file... its a map, not a spell. In other words, if you import the map file into your map... its useless, when you look under import and file type it says other. What you do is, while in world editor, you go to Open map under file. Next, you search for the map file you downloaded, and open it.

If the file you Downloaded is a ZIP file, after you download it, press open and then right click on the zip and then select Extract File.

P.S. Always read the "Important Note:" part ... it says pretty much exactly what im telling you.

And... if you just dont get importing at all, go to the forums and look for tutorials .

Well, glad i could help, and if i didnt PM me and ill try and help more...

You know, i also have a weapon system in my map, and at first i also thought of making magazines and bullets separated, but the it hit me. Why would i do so? For realism? is it realy needed in W3 map so much? By leaving only unlimited number of bullets i made it easier for me, no useless triggers, and easier for the gamer, he dont need to buy clips and chips, using up his holl inventory on weapons (gun, clips and bullers = 3 inventory slots!! and in my map u always have food and melee weapon with you. so this leaves only 1 slot open for all other), and its easier to play. Buy 100 bullets for 100 or 9999 for 9999 and go shoot the bad guys. Everyone is happy.

Darn it. I just got mine to work, too. I guess you beat me to it.

Grrrrrrrrrrreat!
for MY map that is
not yours

nice

well in real life this happens as well. Youve got an SMG with 30/50 bullets in the clip. When you take this clip out and put a different clip in you CHUCK away the 30 bullets and put in 50 bullets clip in. You do not take bullets out of the new clip and stick it in your old one

you right, with this it make this system more realistic

only problem i found is that you can waste your clips when you reload at full or sllightly empty ammo (i had 34 ammo and 3 clips then used a clip and had 50 ammo and 2 clips, leaving me about 20 ammo short)

I fixed the problems Calder, now it wont play the animation, and it wont show the annoying text when you have no more ammo, just when you reload without clips.

I love the picture and it's a pretty decent system. Ideally, the reload animation shouldn't be played if there are no clips. The message saying "-no ammo, please reload and try again-" gets annoying after getting an entire squad mauled by satyrs. I would suggest trying to use this system in a single-character map. Still, a good first submit.

Well, the map I am making has this basic system IS for a single Charecter map, like NOTD. I didnt really think of having a squad, but still, its supose to be a Single charecter. I added the "-1" command just incase your marine dies. And for the Animation, I can try to have it not play the animation.

I could have done is so you cna only reload when you have 0 Gold/Ammo, but i didnt want that option becuase lets say you see a big wave of enemys, and you have half a Magazine, you might want to reload and have a full one, at the cost of a half. And the idea of realoading is you drop your current magazine and add a new one, basicly waisting your older ammo.

Maybe I should add an Option so you cna only reload when its empty.. but i think its fine now.

And for thr Squad Idea, I could make a map that the units Ammo is the MAna, and that you can still have a squad and each have there own ammo. Maybe give them Mana Potion/More ammo items... I mgith get started on that soon!

Thanks for the comments!
