Hello !

I am just starting with auto-assembler and I am getting stuck on a problem Confused

I am doing a cheat table for the new game "Aliens Colonial Marines", and I am currently working on ammo script. (we are talking about the general ammo here, not the "in magazine" ammo)

The script make that the ammo wont decrease anymore while reloading, and that part work fine. But what I want to add in it, is that when the script start (ticking the box) the ammo goes "999" (so I will be able to have ammo and reload even if I have 0 before starting the script). I just can't figure how to do that, I have succeded to put the ammo to 999 when I refresh the ammo counter (reloading or picking up ammo). But getting 999 without having to refresh the ammo counter seems just impossible Sad

Can anyone help me out here please ? ^^

Here is my current script :

You have a couple of options. The easiest would be to just create a cheat that makes your ammo 999. Set the same hotkey for it as you do the script.

Yeah, I thought of that, but that dont fix my problem

I still dont know how to do a script that will refill my ammo without having to refresh the counter Sad

Thank you for your answer anyway ^^

Maybe I am misunderstanding you. You want your script to disable any adding/subtracting of your ammo...and you also want your ammo to read 999? Magazine ammo, not extra clip ammo, correct?

Or...

You have everything working correctly, but in order for your ammo to actually read 999, you have to get more ammo/reload? If so, does firing your weapon toggle the ammo to 999?

Maybe if I understand you better, I can help.

Which version are you running?

I am curious...why are you concerned with the clip ammo? Why not set the magazine ammo to never change and you won't even have to reload or ever rely on clip ammo?

Running the 1.0.55.708706 according to the .exe

Well, I am planning to make a trainer (mostly to train my self and learn ^^) and there will be a "No-Reload" option (that is already made btw)

But the reason I want to add 999 ammo like that, is for refill the weapon that dont have any ammo from start. So no need to pick up ammo to start getting infinite one. It could be annoying to search for ammo just to be able to use the infinite ammo option, especially if it is rare ammo.

For exemple : I have 0/0 ammo on my shotgun, and I want to use the "Infinite Ammo" option of my trainer. The problem is, I can't, because in order to get infinite ammo from the trainer, I need at least one bullet who is already in my ammo bag (like that 0/1) But if I have 0 ammo in my ammo bag at start, I am f*cked and the ammo script won't work.

That's why I want to add automatic 999 ammo in the ammo bag right when the script start (without having to refresh the ammo counter by reloading or picking up other ammo) Razz

redleouf,

It does not matter if you have ammo or not. The reason hacking the magazine ammo is better, is because you will never have to reload your weapon. Even if you find a shotgun, the ammo will already be in it if you set it that way. You can choose to have 999 rounds in your reserve clips, or you can choose to have them already in your gun. Each weapon has a maximum amount of rounds that it can hold in the magazine and in the reserve clips...there's really no reason to set it to 999 (FYI).

The script that you are using prohibits the game from making any changes to the clip ammo (regardless of weapon, probably). You have to create a separate code to set and freeze the clip ammo value for each weapon in the game. This game uses two different addresses for clip ammo (for each gun) - one for the visual representation, and one for the actual ammo. You need to change them both and freeze them in order to get the best results. Changing them both and freezing them will allow you to see the results immediately.

Since your script is working correctly, now you have to find the values for the visual and actual representation of the clip ammo - for each gun. Set the same hotkey for the script that you do for changing and freezing the clip ammo. This will solve your problem.

I still say that you are best to focus on the magazine ammo. Once you create a proper cheat for the magazine ammo, the clip ammo will become moot. Besides, who wants to wait for their gun to reload if they don't have to?

Look, you can make a script for both, clip ammo and magazine ammo - I did not say that you couldn't. However, in order to get the ammo to show 999 on your screen, instantaneously, you are going to have to create a separate cheat (FOR EACH WEAPON) that will do that. You can still do that with a script, but you really don't have to. There is no reason to do that part with a script because it takes longer.

Im sure u using a wrong code. And also did it on a wrong way.
The Ammo is handled by 2 Offsets.

2DC & 2B4

And you used a non instantly calling Opcode.(find out what writes to this adress)

You have to use "Find out what access to this adress" on the ammo adress.

go to this Adress:
"ACM.exe"+95B799 right click on it and then you will see you ammo Values PopUp in the Window.
