Adding Custom Ammo to a TTT Server

[Onion Wizard]

Hello, I am trying to add a new ammo type to my TTT server. I copied all the code for the ammo LUA file correctly and have made the edits to the guns that will use the new ammo. However, whenever I try to pick up the ammo with the gun in inventory the ammo box simply disappears without picking up the ammo.

I'm not very versed in LUA.

I think there is something else in the server files that I may need to edit. I tried putting the ammo in the ttt.fgd file as well, but to no avail. I have looked everywhere in the server files and have yet to find anything.

-Thanks in advance

Can you post your code?

Code for the ammo LUA file

-- custom ammo override

AddCSLuaFile()

ENT.Type = "anim"
ENT.Base = "base_ammo_ttt"
ENT.AmmoType = "Unique"
ENT.AmmoAmount = 1
ENT.AmmoMax = 1
ENT.Model = Model("models/items/357ammo.mdl")
ENT.AutoSpawnable = true

function ENT:Initialize()
-- Differentiate from rifle ammo
self:SetColor(Color(100, 50, 100, 255))

return self.BaseClass.Initialize(self)
end

Where I put the ammo in the ttt.fgd file:

@PointClass base(Item) studio("models/items/boxsrounds.mdl")= item_ammo_pistol_ttt : "Box of Pistol ammo" []
@PointClass base(Item) studio("models/items/boxmrounds.mdl")= item_ammo_smg1_ttt : "MAC10 ammo" []
@PointClass base(Item) studio("models/items/357ammo.mdl")= item_ammo_357_ttt : "Box of Carbine ammo" []
@PointClass base(Item) studio("models/items/BoxBuckshot.mdl")= item_box_buckshot_ttt : "Box Buckshot" []
@PointClass base(Item) studio("models/items/357ammo.mdl")= item_ammo_revolver_ttt : "Box of Deagle ammo" []
@PointClass base(Item) studio("models/items/357ammo.mdl")= item_ammo_custom_ttt : "Box of Deagle ammo" []

The ammo type needs to be a pre-existing ammo type, such as "airboatgun" or "Gauss". Then you set the ammo entire in the shotgun to the filename of the ammo (item_ammo_custom_ttt) and the ammo type to the same as the custom ammo ent.

Oh god, please put the code in
