Getting Ammo String from Weapon:GetPrimaryAmmoType()?

[GameWalrus]

What's the best way to get a weapon's primary ammo type as a string?

[GameWalrus]

Anyone know?

for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if(v == theweapon.Owner)
return "http://wiki.garrysmod.com/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=ammo&go=Go"
end
end

Something like this should return the ammo type enumeration if I recall correctly.

print( LocalPlayer( ):GetActiveWeapon( ):GetPrimaryAmmoType( ) );
print( LocalPlayer( ):GetActiveWeapon( ):GetSecondaryAmmoType( ) );

Alternatively, you can use list.Get( "Weapons" ) and go through until you get v.ClassName == your weapon, then you can get v.Primary.Ammo or something. You should be able to GetTable( ) of the ActiveWeapon in order to grab ammo type as a "String"

Or you know you could just do LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon().Primary.Ammo because the table is saved on the weapon unless it's a C weapon.

Yeah. I thought I'd have to go with this as much. I'll try it.

For the C Weapons - found this on this forum somewhere:

[lua] MaxAmmo={}
client = LocalPlayer()

MaxAmmo["weapon_crowbar"]=0
MaxAmmo["weapon_physcannon"]=0
MaxAmmo["weapon_physgun"]=0
MaxAmmo["weapon_pistol"]=18
MaxAmmo["gmod_tool"]=0
MaxAmmo["weapon_357"]=6
MaxAmmo["weapon_smg1"]=45
MaxAmmo["weapon_ar2"]=30
MaxAmmo["weapon_crossbow"]=1
MaxAmmo["weapon_frag"]=-1
MaxAmmo["weapon_rpg"]=-1
MaxAmmo["weapon_shotgun"]=6

if client:GetActiveWeapon().Primarythen
client:GetActiveWeapon().Primary.ClipSize
else
MaxAmmo[client:GetActiveWeapon():GetClass()]
end[/lua]

It wouldn't be hard to adapt it for the HL2 weapons so it has not only max ammo which is listed, but also the type of ammo, etc..
