Changing reload code

[Bobv2]

I'm trying to code a way to handle ammunition in a custom way, but I don't understand how reloading in Source works. I look at the swep I downloaded and the only thing the Reload function is send a state to the model, and when the model is finished it refills the clip and subtracts from the ammo pool.

Is there anyway I can hijack this process and re-code it? Is it built into the model?

I have been messing with the reload on a weapon myself. I've modified the SWEP:Reload function:

[lua]
function SWEP:Reload()
self:DefaultReload( ACT_VM_RELOAD )
end
[/lua]

to do what I want to happen when a player needs to reload.

That just sends an animation and state to the weapon, I'm trying to figure out how to control what happens when the animation is finished.

timer.Simple(self.Owner:GetViewModel():SequenceDuration(), function()

end[/LUA]Here you go.

I can write a simple code that it doesn't restore your clip1 if you want.

That would be nice.

[QUOTE=Bobv2;24634850]That would be nice.[/QUOTE]Here you go:[LUA]function SWEP:Reload()
if !self.Reloading then
self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim(ACT_VM_RELOAD)
self.Owner:SetAnimation(PLAYER_RELOAD)
<< Code when act_vm_reload animation starts >>
self.Reloading = true
timer.Simple(self.Owner:GetViewModel():SequenceDuration(), function()
<< Code when act_vm_reload animation finishes >>
self.Reloading = false
end)
end
end[/LUA]

That covers everything that self:DefaultReload(ACT_VM_RELOAD) does except for the refilling, right?

And thanks.

And thanks.[/QUOTE]Yeah, should work exactly the same, except no ammo refill.
