The first potential problem I can see is that some of your actor names have a number instead of a letter as their first character.

The name this new actor is referenced by in the game. While ZDoom will accept a much larger range of values for the name, this should for best compatibility be a valid identifier (alphanumeric plus underscores, but not starting with a digit).

Ok so now i changed all the actors to have ASSAULT416token1 and so on. I can now fire one bullet and then it takes all the ammo. I really would like the weapon to switch to red dot sight with minimal zoom maybe not the 2 zooms i have now and slight accuracy improvement. I used real667 huntingrifle and tried to fill in the blanks but i think that was a bad plan. Any help with simplifying the decorate and helping me learn would be greatly appreciated.

The "takes all the ammo" issue is caused by the fact that all frames in the firing animation have duration 0, so that when you press the fire button, the weapon fires one shot, then A_Refire immediately checks if the fire button is still pressed, which it always is, since zero time passed since you pressed it, and so the fire animation immediately restarts, the weapon fires another shot, then A_Refire immediately checks if the fire button is still pressed, and so on until you run out of ammo. To prevent this, at least one frame strictly before the frame with A_Refire should have a non-zero duration.

ok i have solved the ammo problem and i got rid of the over zoom by just making them all 1.o but now i am not getting my firing sound when looking through sights. i see it is there not sure why it wont play?? 

 

 

 

 

ok i fixed my sound problem it was only at 0 so i put a 1 now to work on the flash and weapon movement when in the red dot sight. any help from you great doom modding masters with making this decorate more simple and straight to the point would be much appreciated.
