Is there any way of showing the ammo in clip value as a progress bar?
i want to transfer the mechanic of the health cross (which shrinks and grows) to the ammo information.
is this possible?
i tried many things with the depending HudPlayerHealth.res files... cloned parts to the ammo res but it didnt work out yet...

is this even possible?

Not as far as I know. Unless you want to make a font where the numbers actually are replaced with bars for example:

0: []
1: [___]
2: [______]
3: [_________]
4: [____________]
5: [_______________]
6: [__________________]

etc.

It's great, because fonts have 'tall' and 'weight' values.

This would also kind of work for making the AmmoInClip as a crosshair, making the amount of 'dots' or 'squares' for the crosshair:

This doesn't really work well if you don't play a class where the primary weapon number is greater than 10, or play on x10 servers a lot. For example, the Pistol's 12 wouldn't show up right, nor would the Medic's Syringe Gun. So unless you use a Winger or Crusader's Crossbow 24/7, you can't use those classes right. And DEFINITELY AmmoNoClip doesn't work unless you specifically don't play Pyro, Heavy, or x10. And, well, MvM.

In clarification to post #2, those bars are item effect meters in disguise. Some huds make them look like meters, which can be enhanced with a bgColor_override "0 0 0 255".
