I have a little problem with DDF and I was wondering if anyone out there can help me out.

I want to have two weapons which have the exact same sprites but have two different attacks. Weapon_A shoots bullets and Weapon_B shots rockets.
The problem is that I want to change weapons WITHOUT seeing the RAISE and LOWER animation you get when you change from one to the other. The idea is to trick the user into thinking that it's the same weapon.

Originally, I tried to use a single weapon with a secondary attack but that doesn't work because the AMMOTYPEs are different: this means that when bullets run out I lose the weapon, even though the ammo for the secondary attack isn't empty.

It's kinda hard to explain but I hope you catch the drift :)

You can set the weapon up and down frames to 0 to make them switch really fast, but the problem is that they go all random-like, so you'll probably have to tap on the button quickly to switch.

I still have yet to get it to switch and not switch to something else quick as of now..

You can also have sec_reload and stuff, so you can make the secondary attack reload after, say, 3 shots.

Yeah, I know all that stuff about the secondary attack but that doesn't answer my question. I already said I tried to have a primary attack(AMMOTYPE bullets) and a seconadry attack(rockets) but the problem is that as soon as you run out of either type of ammo you lose the weapon.

Any other suggestions?

You should've just grabbed covert ops, it has similar (if not exact) ddf.

That's where I got the above code from Tobester:)

It's still not perfect because now I have the opposite problem: when I run out of the primary ammo I lose the weapon, even though I've got secondary ammo!!

The only solution I can come up with is to use infinite ammo for the primary attack... :(
