3-round burst fix in Scripting

I was working on my map and added some three round burst weapons to the game.
When I reload with the last magazine I noticed that the weapon is firing very slow with weird delay.
If there is one bullet reserve this problem won't happen so that gave me an idea.

There is a tutorial that should have a fix but for me it didn't work:
https://www.ugx-mods.com/forum/modding/52/user-tutorial-weapon-settings-in-a-weapon-file/5651/

This one however seems to fix the issue:
https://www.ugx-mods.com/forum/modding/52/slow-3-round-burst-weapon-fix-verteseas-fix/23898/
I leave this fix up in case it's still neccesary.

Anyway here is the fix, make a new gsc file with name three_round_burst_fix and paste this:

Code Snippet

#include common_scripts\utility;

init()

            if (stock_ammo == 0)
            {
                self setWeaponAmmoStock( current_weapon, 1 );
            }
        }
    }
}

end_firing_fix()
{
    self endon("disconnect");

    while(1)
    {
        self waittill( "end_firing" );
        current_weapon = self GetCurrentWeapon();
        
        if (check_is_weapon(current_weapon))
        {    
            stock_ammo = self getWeaponAmmoStock( current_weapon );            
            if (stock_ammo <= 1)
            {
                self setWeaponAmmoStock( current_weapon, 0 );
            }
        }
    }
}

fire_fix()
{
    self endon("disconnect");

    while(1)
    {
        self waittill( "weapon_fired" );
        current_weapon = self GetCurrentWeapon();
        
        if (check_is_weapon(current_weapon))
        {    
            clip_ammo = self GetWeaponAmmoClip( current_weapon );
            stock_ammo = self getWeaponAmmoStock( current_weapon );
            
            if (stock_ammo <= 1 && clip_ammo == 0)
            {
                self setWeaponAmmoStock( current_weapon, 0 );
            }
        }
    }
}

add this under maps\_load::main(); in _zombiemode.gsc

maps\three_round_burst_fix::init();

You're done congrats!
