Secondary weapon consumes primary ammo?

How could I make a secondary weapon that consumes the ammo of a primary weapon? I'm trying to make a charged mode for a blaster rifle.

Yeah I don't think you can. Would be sweet yeah, like in JKA, no? I don't think you can link two weapons in any way, so I'm afraid you won't be able to share the ammo either...
You could try to put WeaponAmmo2 = Weaponammo1 in the soldiers odf, thats all I can think of right now... But I'm almost 100% sure that won't work and will just crash the map
Perhaps you can make it drain the jetfuel/shield bar? (edit it so it doesn't recover) That's the only other thing I can think of... Though I doubt you can link anything other than shields and jetpacks to that bar... Which only leaves us with the stamina bar, which would be a bit too drastic perhaps

Ah well. This brings to mind the detpack and plunger - perhaps that example may help?

Yes, Master Zerted...
You're way better at modding than I'll ever be, so I'll listen to you.
WeaponShareHeat? Could be good for a dual pistol...
WeaponChannel2, 3, 4? How's that work, I wonder? PrimaryWeapon? SecondaryWeapon? Odd.
WeaponShareAmmo? That sounds about right... How would I implement it? <-- Main question right here

I've only used WeaponName# and WeaponAmmo#. The numbers represent which weapon. 1 and 2 are primary weapons (like blaster, pistol), while 3 and 4 are the secondary weapons (like detpack, healthpack). What you want looks possible, play around with the values untill it works.
I've just read a lot. Some odf parameters are in the modtools doc, there is a site (can never remember its name) with a very unreadable listing, and psych0fred has an organized list.
Edit: err, maybe its 1-4 are primary and 5-8 are secondary. Its been a while, I forgot which way it is.

you can go beyond 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
The max # of weapons for any entity is 8.
