How do i make an ammo counter for guns?

[fiend-o-hell]

Is there a way to make an ammo counter for for my guns without having to resort to making a whole individual gun sprite for each number?

As far as I can tell, you can't use HudMessage in decorate (which is what I assume you're using) so there's no way to do it short of making a single sprite for each number.

What if you make the gun use firing states as idle states and make numbers out of the muzzle flash -- then you have an alternate fire for the actual shooting

Hey, that’s an interesting idea DeumReaper and right off my head it seems like it could work. I just don’t like the idea of one of my alt. fire slots being taken up. Ill see what I can do...
