For the most part I guess I get it except the JumpIfIventory and ChargeFlag. Like how does JumpIfinventory exactly work?. Also, is ChargeFlag like a script I have to write out separately? Lastly, sorry if I sounded like a jerk. I'm just trying to understand everything fully.
Edit:
I think I get it I hope. Because it's technically giving you the flag to check instead of shooting something, it holds off until you finally release it. I had thought maybe I had to create a special item indicating this. Well, for now, I will test making a gun using these guidelines.
Edit2:
Well, the gun charges (i.e. it holds as I hold the fire button), however, it does not discharge the charged up shot like it should. Unless I botched something (still tinkering around with it), I've used the exact same coding you provided and for the most part understand how it works.
Edit3:
I was looking through a similar charged weapon, and realized some things that were missing. I hadn't identified an ammo for the charge and was not taking the ammo away after the charge was done. However, it completely crashes the games when I attempt to charge. Normal quick shots though seem ok though..
Here is the Decorate for the current charge weapon...
