# Resource Handling (Ammo/Heat)

### Ammo

To create limited ammo for projectile weapons and missile weapons:

1. Add a **Resource Container** component to the weapon and customize the inspector settings.
2. Go to the **Weapons** component on your weapon and go to the *Resource Handlers* list in the inspector. Add an entry to the list.
3. Drag the Resource Container you created above into the *Resource Container* field, and set the *Unit Resource Change* to -1 (this will remove 1 from the ammo container when the weapon is fired.

Now, the weapon will deplete the ammo container, and not fire when the ammo is empty.

### Heat

To produce heat when the weapon is fired, repeat the steps for the Ammo section above, but set the *Unit Resource Change* to a positive number in step 3.

You can define different resource types with **Resource Types**, which you can create in the Project tab with *Right Click* > *Create > VSX > Resource Type*.
