Ok guys, I made a working version that uses strings!

Save this one in graal/levels/npcs folder as defnpcShootWepaonString.txt
and have fun!
Hint: for action, put: putexplosion 1 this.x,this.y
no semicolon
or
putbomb 1,this.x,this.y
and blank out playerdir
and increase repeats!
fun!

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Prozac

//#COMMENTS NPC that shoots something, String based! -By Prozac-

//#EDIT action shootarrow

//#EDIT direction playerdir

//#EDIT How_much_ammo 1

//#EDIT Repeat 1

//#EDIT Weapon_name MyBow

//#EDIT AmmoStringName ammo1

//#EDIT HowMuchGiveToStart 5

//#EDIT SayIfNoAmmoLeft No_Ammo_Left!



if (created) 

{setimg wbowi1.png; show;}



//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playertouchsme)

{toweapons Weapon_name;

setstring AmmoStringName,HowMuchGiveToStart;

}



if (weaponfired && strtofloat(#s(AmmoStringName))>0)

{

this.distance=Repeat; //how far to throw

this.dir=playerdir;

this.x=playerx+.5+vecx(this.dir)*2;

this.y=playery+1+vecy(this.dir)*2;

for(this.i=0; this.i<this.distance; this.i++)

  {

  freezeplayer .3; playersprite=33;

  this.x+=vecx(this.dir);

  this.y+=vecy(this.dir);

  action direction;

  sleep .05;

  }

setstring AmmoStringName,#v(strtofloat(#s(AmmoStringName))-How_much_ammo)

}



if (weaponfired && strtofloat(#s(AmmoStringName))<=0)

{setplayerprop #c,SayIfNoAmmoLeft;}

You don't mind if this is used on playerworlds, do you? With proper credit, of course.
