strange bow thingy

[excaliber7388]

Okay, If a person is in a level with baddies that shoot stones, arrows, etc, the player's arrows reduce, I've looked through my own NPCs and I have no idea where this came from. Also, if you use this weapon, two arrows are taken away (this is my replacement for the bow, because i thought that it might be the problem, but, wrong. What could be doing this? (Note, this is not a problem with bombs, just arrows)
My bow:

NPC Code:

---

if(actionserverside){

  if(strequals(#p(0),darts)){

    playerdarts=playerdarts-1;

//   ^ ^I know the right way to do this, I was just expirementing a bit

  }

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

if(weaponfired){

  triggeraction 0,0,serverside,*Bow,darts;

   if(playerdarts>0){

     setani shoot,;

       if(playerdir==0){

         shootarrow up;

       }

      if(playerdir==2){

        shootarrow down;

      }

      if(playerdir==1){

        shootarrow left;

      }

      if(playerdir==3){

        shootarrow right;

      }

  }

}

I think you can just do:
shootarrow playerdir;
or
shootarrow(player.dir);

I think you are losing two arrows because the shootarrow command is probably taking an arrow, and you have an additional triggeraction that also removes an arrow.

but it also takes arrows when baddies shoot, but I'll try that. The problem with the baddies is why I created this bow.

Oh, the baddy 'arrow problem' has always been around (or at least I think so).

Don't use predefined baddies, or script your own arrow system.
