Re: [hlcoders] Weapon slots

[[DRP]Avatar-X]

Weapons in half life are arranged into 5 (or 10) "buckets"
Each bucket can hold up to 4 weapons.

The bucket is the little number you see in the hud, and each bucket corresponds to one keyboard numeral

Buckets are ordered starting with 0, so pressing "slot1" on your keyboard opens bucket 0

Now, each bucket can hold 4 weapons (max), and they are also 0-based. So the first weapon in the bucket is 0, the second is 1, etc.

The crowbar is in bucket 0, slot 0
The MP5 is in bucket 2, slot 0

I hope this helps!
