Heya! I'm trying to make this super special awesome bullet function. I'm in a little pickle. Yes i can use if statements up the wazoo and get it working. But i wanna do it in a cleaner fancier way. Huge brain fart here. (or it could be that its 3 AM and i just wanted to make this) Would love a helping hand.

I'll look at it in a few.
If you could give me more as in how you're calling it, in here or in pms. That would be helpful.

Sorry homie. Took a lot of your $hit out messin with it, but here u go.
Idk if its what you wanted, but you can work around it I'm sure.

Code:
bulletType()
{
    projectiles = strTok("usrpg_mp,smaw_mp,cobra_20mm_mp,straferun_gun_mp,fhj18_mp,missile_drone_projectile_mp,remote_mortar_missile_mp,heli_gunner_rockets_mp,chopper_minigun_mp,inventory_m32_mp,ai_tank_drone_rocket_mp,straferun_rockets_mp,remote_missile_bomblet_mp,missile_swarm_projectile_mp", ",");
  
    if(!isDefined(level.num))
        level.num = 0;
  
    level.num += 1;
    self.currProj = projectiles[level.num];
    self iprintln("Weapon Projectile Set To ^2" + projectiles[level.num]);
    while( isDefined(self.currProj) )
    {
        self waittill("weapon_fired");
      
        magicbullet(self.currProj, self getEye(), self getBulletTrace(), self);
    }
}

getBulletTrace()
{
    return bulletTrace(self getEye(), self getEye()+ vectorScale(anglesToForward(self getPlayerAngles()), 1000000), 0, self)["position"];
}
