FlameThrower ammo counter.

Papayas

<div class="IPBDescription">What the ammo counter should be like for the FT.</div>The flamethrower does not have a current ammo counter and I think just having a number counter that is saying how much ammo you have left is a bit too unrealistic for a flamethrower.

So, maybe the canister that you put into the flamethrower tells you. But not in a uber obvious way.

My idea is that:
If the flamethrowers use liquid then you can see how much you have left in the canister the same way you can see how much water if left in a bottle.

Or if the flamethrowers use gas then you can see a fading effect on the canister. For example: A full canister has a darker colour (Because the gas is thicker) than an empty one.


I would like to know what you guys think of my ideas and also some of your own.

I say sublimated solid fuel, instead!

why dont we just used the awesome light display on the flamethrower and make it drop down as you use your gun, when it hits zero thats when you reload?

any more ideas? my idea still has a problem of not telling how much gas canisters we have so that is an issue.

I'd say do the same as with the rifle/pistol, except instead of a number above the "remaining spare ammo graphics" its just a big block that shrinks as you use ammo, representing an emptying gas tank or whatever it uses.

A canister on the "ammo display" that gets more and more transparent as you use the fuel xD

how about we use whats already there. theres a big rectangle block.

why dont we segment it into sections like a chocolate bar with cuts.

when it goes down the line of the bar, when it reaches the cut section thats when you reload with a canister of gas. then it just keeps going down the line and reloads another canister when it touches each spaced bar of fuel

whos in?
