PC [Halloween Beta]HMTech-501 Infinite Grenades when dropped and picked up [Online]

[Delta69er]

Category: Weapons

Summary: Dropping 501 and picking it up will reset grenades to default 3.

Description: As above, if you drop it when its empty or full, it will always reset the grenades you have to 3. This is an online bug only, doesn't happen in solo.

Reproducibility: Always

Online/Offline: ONLINE

Thanks

After doing some investigation, here's what I found: Despite the HM-501 taking much of its code from the M16/M203 (because it's a functionally similar weapon for the most part), it misses some key ingredients that make the M16/M203 work properly online, namely this variable:

// Used on the server to keep track of grenades
var int ServerTotalAltAmmo;

There are also several functions that need to be modified or overridden to account for this like the M16/M203 does. Just search for "ServerTotalAltAmmo" in KFGameContent.KFWeap_AssaultRifle_M16M203 to find them.

P.S.: Also consider modifying the HM-501's GetSecondaryAmmoForHUD() to simply return super(KFWeapon).GetSecondaryAmmoForHUD(). This will show total ammo (including the grenade loaded in the weapon) just like the M16/M203 does.

I will pass that along, cheers.

Likely related, but online (haven't tried solo), when you full on ammo except 501's grenades you can walk over ammo box to refill them and it will not consume the box - your ammo will be replenished and ammo box will stay at place.
