Rechargeable Magazine

The RechargeableMagazine is a special type of magazine designed for energy-based or sci-fi weapons. Unlike the traditional BulletMagazine, this magazine automatically regenerates ammo over time, removing the need for manual reloads.

It inherits from the base Magazine component and adds logic for timed recharging.

✅ Ideal For

  • Laser guns
  • Energy rifles
  • Magic staves
  • Plasma weapons

⚙️ How It Works

  • The clip holds a fixed maximum charge, defined by Clip Size.
  • When the weapon is fired, the clip is reduced accordingly.
  • If the clip is not full, it automatically recharges at a steady rate.
  • The Recharge Rate determines how many units are restored per second.
  • When the clip reaches zero, the On Depleted event is triggered.

Note

This magazine does not require or support manual reloads—ammo refills itself gradually.
