RM2K3 DBS

I want to make an ammunition counter for a futuristic game im making (area 19). First of all, you can gather clips of ammo for the guns, and every gun has a different type of clip, so you have, say, a .44 carbine clip that holds 10 shots, but you only have 2 shots left before you have to reload. I wanted it to show in the top left hand corner of the DBS screen, the gun name, shots left and how many extra clips of that gun you have left. I also want it to show for all four party members. How would I go about coding this? I also wanted to make a system where you can switch guns in battle, and obviously i need a clip reloading system. (you throw away the used up clips, you dont keep them as an item called "empty clip")

Hmm. You're probably better off using a CBS or ABS, but you could also modify the MP counter into a type of ammunition guage, although that would take a lot of work and code.

I was thinking about that but I already have a futuristic magic system that actually makes sense. I guess I could try make a CBS. I read a couple of tuts on Gaming World but none of theme seemed to help.
If any of you ever played the Kindred Saga demo, well thats the type of CBS I would want to go for. None of Rusty's cbs's really appealed to me.
