How do I limit the ammo players have?

[122334shadow]

I am trying to make a game where the player has to shoot robots and find their way through a maze full of traps. I want to make it where they have limited ammo.
Example: Their's a counter on the bottom right of the screen that subtracts by one every time they shoot. Once it reaches zero they can't shoot anymore until they find more ammo.
How can I do that?

Make a counter at the bottom right of the screen, and set it to be greater then 0(unless they start with no ammo).

Then in your shooting event, do the following:

Player pushes "shoot"
+Counter is > 0
-Shoot bullet, subtract 1 from the counter.

Now the shoot event will only work if the counter is greater then 0.

To give them more ammo from a pickup, when they collide with the pickup just add the ammo to the counter.

If you are having trouble making the above event in the editor, right click your event for "on pressing key", and select "Insert". That's how you can add multiple conditions to a single event.
