Reloading logic

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

My current reloading logic is wrong and leading to problems. I am trying to make it so you gain ammo logically. This is very annoying.

For an example lets say the full magazine can hold 10 ammo. You have in total 100 ammo. You use up the magazine and reload. Your total ammo is now 90, however, lets say you have 0 magazine ammo but 3 ammo in total. You reload and only get 3 instead of 10 for the magazine ammo. I am trying to achieve that.

My code:

    if magAmmo.Value >= totalAmmo.Value then
		magAmmo.Value += totalAmmo.Value
	end	
			

	totalAmmo.Value -= math.min(totalAmmo.Value,math.abs(8-magAmmo.Value))

			
	if magAmmo.Value < totalAmmo.Value then
		local numbersNeededToEqual8 = 8-magAmmo.Value
		magAmmo.Value += numbersNeededToEqual8
	end
			
	if magAmmo.Value > 8 then
		magAmmo.Value = 8
	end

Appreciate any help.

Sorry for the late response but do you have any idea how to implement that into my code? I tried something like this,

    magAmmo.Value += math.clamp(totalAmmo.Value,0,8)
	totalAmmo.Value -= magAmmo.Value

			
	if magAmmo.Value > 8 then
		magAmmo.Value = 8
	end
			
	if totalAmmo.Value < 0 then
		totalAmmo.Value = 0
	end

local MaxClip = 8
local MaxAmmo = 100

local CurrentClip = MaxClip
local CurrentAmmo = MaxAmmo

local function Reload()
	if CurrentClip >= MaxClip then return warn'You don\'t need to reload, your clip is full' end
	if CurrentAmmo <= 0 then return warn'You don\'t have any ammo to load' end
	
	local FillAmount = math.min(MaxClip - CurrentClip, CurrentAmmo)
	print(string.format("Refilling %d bullets, %d ammo left", FillAmount, CurrentAmmo - FillAmount))
	CurrentClip += FillAmount
	CurrentAmmo -= FillAmount
	print(string.format("After reload: %d / %d", CurrentClip, CurrentAmmo))
end

Reload() --> You don't need to reload, your clip is full

CurrentClip = 5
Reload() --> Refilling 3 bullets, 97 ammo left
--> After reload: 8 / 97

CurrentAmmo = 0
CurrentClip = 8
Reload() -->  You don't need to reload, your clip is full

CurrentClip = 7
Reload() --> You don't have any ammo to load

CurrentAmmo = 100
CurrentClip = 0
Reload() --> Refilling 8 bullets, 92 ammo left
--> After reload: 8 / 92

CurrentAmmo = 4
CurrentClip = 2
Reload() -->  Refilling 4 bullets, 0 ammo left
--> After reload: 6 / 0
