Underbarrel gun attachment ammo checking

Post by oprayx73 » 12 May 2016, 17:49

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Check underbarrel attachment ammunition by examining it

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
You can pick up underbarrel grenade launchers/flamers/masterkeys without being unsure if its empty, cause there's really no way to tell.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Examining the rifle or the item it's on, the name of the attachment should transform whilst in use I.E
This is a underslung grenade launcher (2/2). It is a bulky item.
A weapon-mounted, two-shot grenade launcher. It cannot be reloaded.
This is a masterkey shotgun(3/4) or whatever the capacity is. It is a bulky item.
A weapon-mounted, four-shot shotgun. Mostly used in emergencies. It cannot be reloaded.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
should be not toooo difficult to find a way to change the names of the gun even if it's attached to the rifle.

I've added a small message that will either tell you it's got some firepower left or it is spent.
