The correct math for calculating remaining Ammo in Mag?
OK, so I followed Sebastian's tutorials on a Top Down Shooter in unity, and I made a slight modification to how the ammo reloads. There are 3 variables: currentAmmoInMag, ammoPerMag, and totalAmmo.
I have the math correct(for what seems) both. I know for a fact I have the currentAmmoInMag reload correct.
In the tutorial, there is 10 bullets in 1 mag, and 40 total bullets(4 Mags). Well, if you were to only shoot 2 bullets and then reload, your total ammo would decrease by 10. Not right. Well anyways; heres the math, if you need more info(like the rest of the script), just let me know:
(This is performed on reload, BTW)
currentAmmoInMag += ammoPerMag - currentAmmoInMag;
totalAmmo -= ammoPerMag - currentAmmoInMag;
Heres a visualization:
Current/Total
10/40
You Shoot 2 bullets
8/40
When you reload
10/38
THATS how it should look, and right now, TotalAmmo doesn't change. It just stays at 40.
I have solved my own problem, and incase anyone has the same issue; all I did was create a public int named shotsFired; and defined it as ammoPer$$anonymous$$ag - currentAmmoIn$$anonymous$$ag and the set the total ammo EQUAL(not subtract) to totalammo - shotsFired
here is my Code which works perfect
void Start()
{
currentAmmo = magazineCapacity;
Debug.Log(totalAmmo);
}
public void reload()
{
//if totalAmmo itself have enough bullets
if (totalAmmo>=magazineCapacity)
{
//get the ammo required to fill the magazine
neededAmmo = magazineCapacity - currentAmmo;
//decrement the ammo required to fill the magazine from total
totalAmmo -= neededAmmo;
//then increment the ammo required to fill the magazine
currentAmmo += neededAmmo;
}
//if total ammo is less then the magazineCapacity
else if(totalAmmo>0)
{
//get the ammo required to fill the magazine
neededAmmo = magazineCapacity - currentAmmo;
//if totalAmmo has enough bullets required to fill the magazine
if(neededAmmo<totalAmmo)
{
totalAmmo -= neededAmmo;
currentAmmo += neededAmmo;
}
//if totalAmmo is less then the required neededAmmo then incerement all the bullets in the currentAmmo from totalAmmo
else
{
currentAmmo += totalAmmo;
totalAmmo = 0;
}
}
}
