Thanks for the help regarding this. It took me a while, but I finally have something that works.

script.on_event({defines.events.on_tick},
function (e)
for _,player in pairs(game.connected_players) do
local guns = player.get_inventory(defines.inventory.player_guns)
local mags = player.get ...

I apologize for my noobishness in advance, This works, but it still only checks in ammo slot 1 it seems... I have tried to use the #inventory stuff, but it just throws up errors, It would be nice to know where the inventory cycling piece of code actually goes in the structure of the script. as for ...

hmm, with this piece of code
script.on_event({defines.events.on_tick},
function (e)
for index,player in pairs(game.players) do
for slot=1,,3 do
local gun = global[index].guns[slot]
local mag = global[index].ammo[slot]

it says that its indexing "?" a nil value... crash
what exactly is global ...

thanks for the help. I generally don't do models on request, but if it's something simple that i could knock off in an hour or two, I don't see why I cant.. what did you have in mind?

thanks for the suggestions,

try script.on_event({defines.on_player_ammo_inventory_changed} doesn't seem to register when ammo is drained from a magazine, and thus only triggers when the amount on magazines in the inventory has changed. Since the scrip im using "preemptively" checks how many bullets ...

alright, thanks to you I have managed to create a reload script:

script.on_event({defines.events.on_tick},
function (e)
--if e.tick % 60 == 0 then
for index,player in pairs(game.connected_players) do
local inventory = player.get_inventory(defines.inventory.player_ammo)
if player.character and ...

thanks for the help... I have found a potential way to implement reloading for factorio weapons, but I am having difficulty coding what I am thinking of.
I now know that .ammo can be used to check ammo remaining in a magazine, but I don't know where to use it in the code.. is it ("firearm-magazine ...

I have been creating a mod that overhauls weapons in factorio and I really want to impliment a reload system
the code would go something like this

control.lua
script.on_event({defines.events.on_tick},
function (e)
for index,player in pairs(game.connected_players)
if player.character and [mod ...

Thanks,

I know some of the guns are ridiculously powerful but when I tested the mod i found that because everything is so expensive i balances out (I'm still going to make ammo cheaper though)
