try it for example
scrdef s c "ifne $nammo xv 0 yv 40 string [@=$nammo$]"
scrdef s d "num $curweap xr -100 yb -160 string [W=$curweap$]"

hmz, is there something like $nbullets or somethin' that would display number of bullets that i poses, when a railgun (any other weapon is drawn,)
maybe it has to do something with entdef?
and is there variable for how many weapons u have?

upp3r,

First thing you do not output anything but icons in your script.

Unfortunately in q2protr ver1 there is no such internal variables that would normally tell you the ammount of your ammo for all weapons you have (and also which weapons you do have). Moreover there are no such variables inside client - these values are kept on server side only.
It is possible, however, to output number of ammo for current weapon as suggested by RPG:
scrdef s c "ifne $nammo xv 0 yv 40 string [@=$nammo$]"

You may want to create your own script that would calculate the ammount for any weapon using the following idea:
On respawn set counters to 0. Create a take trigger that will fire on taking bullets/whatever that will increase an appropriate counter by the ammount of ammo taken (e.g. bulets +50, rockets +5). On any drop command decrease the counter respectively. On switching to that weapon update the counter any time you fire. Clear all counters on death trigger.
The only thing is this would not work for dropped items: if you drop slugs and you have only 1 slug then only 1 slug will be dropped and you get 10 of them by this algorithm :/

In version 2 that I have locally take triggers are much more stable and this approach would give you approximate numbers.

ok, i was doing with the idead of clinet side counting how much you ammo carrie, but then i got an idea, when you shoot -1 ammo right? rocket launcher, rail gun, shotgun, ssg -2 and so on, but what about chaingun? 8 bullets per second, how to count that? - $had_ammo-$nammo$ ?)
and, is thete some counter in q2? or somethin' like that to make?
like if you take yellow armor, and trigger the counter that starts
[Yellow ammo in arena back in - XXs.]
? i use sounds for that, but it isint that efficient:/
