Examples

There are some significant differences between these 2 examples-take a close look at ammo and clip. ammo makes the boss "reload" his weapon before being able to shoot, while clip allows the boss to use the weapon immediately. Use clip for clipless weapons (minigun, flamethrower, etc). However, ammo must also be set to at least 1 for clipless weapons to operate.

"ability1"
{
	"name"			"rage_new_weapon"
	"classname"		"tf_weapon_revolver"
	"index"			"161"
	"attributes"		"2 ; 9 ; 6 ; 0.5 ; 266 ; 99 ; 150 ; 1 ; 25 ; 0 ; 106 ; 0"
	"weapon slot"		"0"
	"ammo"			"6" //weapon ammo should be used for this type of weapon
	"force switch"		"1"
	"plugin_name"	        "special_noanims"
}

This gives the boss a Big Kill with 6 ammo and the arg3 attributes when rage is used.
