Step 1

This will make it so that your Shotgun will occasionaly jam. When it jams you will lose a shell and it will take 5 seconds before you can fire it again. First, open up WEAPONS.QC and find the lines that read:

    else if (self.weapon == IT_SHOTGUN)
    {
        player_shot1 ();
        W_FireShotgun ();
        self.attack_finished = time + 0.5;
    }

Change it to this:

else if (self.weapon == IT_SHOTGUN)
    {
        local float r; // Makes a new float
        r = random ();  // sets r to a random number

        player_shot1 ();
        if (r < 0.03)  //gives it a 1 in 50 chance of jamming
        {
            W_FireShotJam ();   //make it jam
            self.attack_finished = time + 5; // make them wait 5 seconds
        }
        else
        {
            W_FireShotgun ();  // Business as usual
            self.attack_finished = time + 0.5;
        }
    }

Step 2

Now, Go up to just under the W_FireShotGun function and add this..

void() W_FireShotJam =
{
    self.currentammo = self.ammo_shells = self.ammo_shells - 1;   // Take Away a Shell
    centerprint (self, "Damn, It Jammed\n");    // Tell them it jammed
};

Step 3

Coolio, eh?? Compile and have fun!
