Right now, I'm working on a script that whenever you "activate" the item, the script checks to see if you have any ammo left. If you don't, the player says, "I don't have enough ammo!".

The problem here is the player says he doesn't have enough ammo every turn (turn, not click). I believe this is because the "Each Use (goto)" is buggy.

It's buggy because I believe the Each Use checks to see, not if you're using the object, but rather if you have the object equipped, before it goes on its script.

Is this a bug? If not, is there some way of making this problem go away, or should I just put in "Wait 0 turns" 21754931 times to prevent the guy from saying it in the open?

Did you remember to tell the script to skip over the usage label? You should tell it to go to a label at the end of the code where nothing happens. i.e.

  Each use Fire
  Go to Await use
Label Fire
  ...
  [firing code]
  ...
Label Await use

You should also make sure all pathways through the Each use code lead back to Await use at the end of the turn it is used. If your Use code must take more than 1 turn, watch out for possible bugs from the player using it a second time while the code is still running.

You are awesome, man! You are AWESOME! That totally fixes it! Thanks!

I have another problem regarding scripting, but it should go in the RPG Architecture Board.
