OMG help me... how to keep track of things I shoot with a gun

Ok, I know this was posted already (http://www.alice.org/community/showthread.php?t=2308) but the responses to the thread were really unclear to me. I am NOT GOOD at Alice, but my teammates in our game gave me the project of designing the counter.

The story is such: guy with gun is shooting zombies coming after him.

Very basic. I have tried working out the code using both a while statement and an if statement, and CLEARLY I am doing something wrong.

Does anyone have any code written for something similar that they wouldn't mind sharing with a lowly, desperate student?

It will all need to be done with variables
//declare your variable in world make it a number and set its default to the starting amount of ammo you want them to have

var bulletsleft = 5

/////////////////////////////
put this next code in the method called when you fire
/////////////////////////////
if bulletsleft <= 0
{
print "shit son your screwed your out of ammo!"
}
else
{
decrease bulletsleft by 1
}
////////////////////////////
so now every time you fire it will first check to see if 0 is greater than or = to your current ammo if you have more than 0 ammo left it will take 1 off your current ammo as you just fired the weapon!
