GUI dependent on an int variable

[Scribe]

Hello again,

I have made an ammo script that keeps track of the amount of ammo that the gun has and displays it using GUI.Label

this is the current script I have:

var projectile : Transform;
var shootSpawn : Transform;
var clips : int = 10;  // how many clips the player has
var clipSize : int = 6;    // how many bullets in 1 clip
private var ammo : int;    // how many bullets left in the current clip

function Start() {
    ammo = clipSize; // Start with this many bullets.
}

function Update() {
    if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) {
        if(ammo > 0) {
            var clone:Transform = Instantiate(projectile, shootSpawn.position, shootSpawn.rotation);
            ammo--;  // Subtract 1 bullet
        }
        else {
            Reload();
        }
    }
}

function Reload() {
    if(clips > 0) {
        clips--;
        ammo = clipSize;
    }
    else {
        // No more clips left...
    }
}

function OnGUI () {
        GUI.Label (Rect (5, 20, 200, 50), "I"*ammo + ""*(clipSize - ammo));
        GUI.Label (Rect (5, 5, 200, 50), ""+clips);
}

this works perfectly in calculating the clips and bullets however i want to display the GUI differently.

At the moment it shows a bullet as an 'I' but i want to have an image for each bullet,

1) should i make an image of a single bullet and show it as many times as there are bullets or should I make a texture with a whole clip of bullets and shrink the GUI to show one less each time

2) how would i implement this using my script, I'm guessing I need to use GUI.DrawTexture or possibly GUITexture but how would I make it produce a row of Images dependent on the 'ammo' variable of my script

Thanks for any help you can give

P.S I want to keep the number of clips displayed as a number I only want to change the ammo GUI

You know, I was going to go with option 1, but considering how GUI is coded, option 2 might be easier after all. Because you'd only have to make about one GUI call to render that.

I suppose you could render a grid or toolbar, but those are overkill for your purposes.
