Ah that was it i forgot to change the ammoname and clipname. Also you know a good place to start to script the different prices?

No, NaviLlicious is right. I decided not to make it do any extra damage in the script. Just set the damage for the weapon in the weapon file, and that's the damage to gun does.. No increase in the script.. (it has that effect the entire game anyway)

Kind of depends, do you want to just buy the alt-ammo at the wall-weapon trigger? ->go back to the stock function of the ammo_give() ) and you prob need to modify the last part of the weapon_spawn_think() function to check for an alt-weapon and adjust the price in there.

You could also make new triggers on different locations that only provide the players with alt-ammo. In that case just start a small script from scratch..

Lemme know if you need help with the actual scripting..

#include maps\_utility; 
#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;
init()
{
thread elemental_trigger();
}
elemental_trigger()
{
trig = getent("elemental_ammo","targetname");
trig setcursorhint("HINT_NOICON");
trig sethintstring("Press and Hold &&1 to buy Elemental Ammo [Cost:2000]");
trig waittill("trigger",player);
player thread check_for_elemental_weapon();
}
check_for_elemental_weapon()
{
player = undefined;
weapon = undefined();
altweapon =  WeaponAltWeaponName( weapon );			// custom ammo buy
	if( altweapon != "none" )
	{   

		altweapon =  WeaponAltWeaponName( weapon );			// custom ammo buy
		if( altweapon != "none" )
		{
		player GivemaxAmmo( altweapon ); 
		}
    if(player.score > 1999)
     {	
	player maps\_zombiemode_score::minus_to_player_score(2000); 
	player playsound( "cha_ching" ); 
	trig = getent("elemental_ammo","targetname");
	trig disable_trigger();
	wait 1;
	trig enable_trigger();

	if( altweapon == "none")
	{
	self iprintlnbold("You cannot buy Elemental Ammo for this Weapon");
	}
}
}
}

So I been trying ever since my last post to get this working. I did a separate trigger that will control all of the elemental ammo buys. It works up to a degree, when i press f to buy elemental ammo without a elemental ammo it says "You cannot buy Elemental Ammo for this Weapon". then when i actually have a elemental weapon it does nothing when i press f. you mind taking a look? This is my first real attempt at scripting something like this, so some stuff may be weird.

could you make another tut on how to make it a power drop. like when after the player picks it up the gun which they are holding becomes fire/shock/explosive for a limited time?

Hi Bluntstuffy , thanks for  the tutorials . The tutorials you've been putting out are great and its good to see somebody sharing the good stuff.
On this tutorial I have followed but have a few problems, hope you can help.  The explosive gun works with the effects but the zombie don't blow away.
The tesla kills them  and I hear the noise just no effects or the death.
fire works perfect.

I did follow tut , but was lost to find the death .gsc . the only one I found was in raw /animscripts.
I just copied that into my mod /mapname/maps and edited it as you said. thanks for any help in advance.

I meant fx`s

The first post is now updated with a new version of the script. You can now place triggers in radiant where the players buy their special ammo from. The players can only buy the special ammo at these triggers, and they can't buy normal ammo there..
You can change the price's for each ammo type now too.

I would recommend to the people that might have the first version to install this one (sorry for that..)
This is tested propperly by thezombiekilla6 (thanks for that!) and me, and it should work without any issue's..

Otherwise let me know 

anyway to script a hud icon for different types of ammo..... I tried but image wont show next to numbers... I also attached the images I personally would like to use for shock, flame, explosive

If you could do this before I can figure it out which will prob be never THAN THANKS!!!

#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;

#include maps\_hud_util;

	level.expl_ammo_sound = false;

	PrecacheShader( "specialty_juggernaut_zombies" );
	PrecacheShader( "specialty_fastreload_zombies" );
	PrecacheShader( "specialty_doubletap_zombies" );

	players[i].alt_message_count = 0;

	players[i] thread alt_ammo_hud();	

alt_ammo_hud()
{
self endon( "death" );
self endon( "disconnect" );

	self.hud_set = "none";
 
	while(1)
	{
		ammo_hud = undefined;
		shader = undefined;
		gun = self getcurrentweapon();
 
		if(isdefined(level.shock_ammo[gun]))
		{
			ammo_hud = "shock";
			shader = "specialty_juggernaut_zombies";
		}
 
		else if(isdefined(level.flame_ammo[gun]))
		{
			ammo_hud = "flame";
			shader = "specialty_fastreload_zombies";
		}
 
		else if(isdefined(level.expl_ammo[gun]))
		{
			ammo_hud = "expl";
			shader = "specialty_quickrevive_zombies";
		}
 
		else
		{
			ammo_hud = "none";
		}
 
			if( self.hud_set != ammo_hud )
			{
				self.hud_set = ammo_hud;
 
				if( isdefined( self.custom_hud[ "ammo" ] ) )
				{
					self.custom_hud[ "ammo" ] destroy_hud();
					self.custom_hud[ "ammo" ] = undefined;
				}

				self.ammo_hud = NewClientHudElem( self );
				self.ammo_hud.foreground = true; 
				self.ammo_hud.sort = 1; 
				self.ammo_hud.hidewheninmenu = false; 
				self.ammo_hud.alignX = "right"; 
				self.ammo_hud.alignY = "bottom";
				self.ammo_hud.horzAlign = "right"; 
				self.ammo_hud.vertAlign = "bottom";
				self.ammo_hud.x = self.ammo_hud.x - 5; 
				self.ammo_hud.y = self.ammo_hud.y - 95; 
				self.ammo_hud.alpha = 1;
				self.ammo_hud SetShader( shader, 45, 45 );

				self.custom_hud[ "ammo" ] = self.ammo_hud; 
			}
		wait 0.2;
	}
}

material,MATERIAL_NAME

	self.ammo_hud.x = self.ammo_hud.x - 5; 
	self.ammo_hud.y = self.ammo_hud.y - 95; 

	self.ammo_hud SetShader( shader, 45, 45 );

I've tried everything I could think of to make this work, but no matter what it doesn't. I'm trying to make a spas12 with flame but in game in still says "spas 12" and shoots normal rounds. Even the weapons you added to the script don't work. Could you put your scripts up for download so I could get this to work? I'm obviously doing something wrong.
