Setting a weapon's ammo type and amount?

Can someone help me here. I store a player's weapon ammo type and amount and then try to restore it, but it fails. If the weapon has NO amount it gets restored with the base ammo amount, not the amount I stored.
Is this code:

Code:

var weapon = item.GetHeldEntity() as BaseProjectile;
                if (weapon != null)
                {
                    var ammoType = ItemManager.FindItemDefinition(storedItem.ammo);
                    if (ammoType != null) {
                        weapon.primaryMagazine.ammoType = ammoType;
                        weapon.primaryMagazine.contents = storedItem.ammoamount;
                        (item.GetHeldEntity() as BaseProjectile).primaryMagazine.contents = storedItem.ammoamount;
                        (item.GetHeldEntity() as BaseProjectile).primaryMagazine.ammoType = ammoType;
                    }
                }
                item.MoveToContainer(loot.inventory, storedItem.slot);

the same as the LUA version

Code:

if item.ammo then
            local magazine = itemEntity:GetHeldEntity().primaryMagazine
            local itemDef = global.ItemManager.FindItemDefinition.methodarray[1]:Invoke(nil, util.TableToArray({item.ammo.name}))
            magazine.ammoType = itemDef
            magazine.contents = item.ammo.amount
        end
        -- Set that created inventory item to player
        player.inventory:GiveItem(itemEntity, Inventory[slot])

Thanks in advance !

 

May I see how your saving the data? That might be the problem here.

 

Code:

class storedItem
        {
            public int amount;
            public int skinid;
            public int slot;
            public int itemid;
            public string shortname;
            public string ammo;
            public int ammoamount;
            public bool blueprint;
            public string durability;
            public Dictionary<int, string> attachments = new Dictionary<int, string>();
           
        }

 

Is this saving per player, or is it server wide?

 

Perhaps I am misunderstanding the question but it seems you are kind of contradicting yourself here, you say if the weapon has no ammo it gets restored to the default rust amount. If it has no ammo what are you storing? Are you trying to save a value of 0?

A good example of exactly what you are trying to do I wrote in the latest EventManager update. Perhaps looking through it may help you with your issue
