How to use SetPlayerArmedWeapon? - Danny_Costelo - 16.10.2009

https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/SetPlayerArmedWeapon

The wiki doesnt give enough info to really understand how it works.

I tried SetPlayerArmedWeapon(playerid, 0) and they can still use any other weapon?

Can someone explain what it does, or give a little sample script on how it works?

It simply puts a weapon into players hands.

You can use this if you want a player to only hold a certain weapon without scrolling. However you'd have to use a timer to prevent scrolling using this function.
Before in previous versions, we(or at least I) used GivePlayerWeapon by giving him 1 ammo and taking it away right after so I can switch to a certain weapon that I have in my weapon slots.

Excuse my French, but why would you want to make them not able to scroll?

Gotcha.

Even if you don't have the weapon?

No, the player has to have that weapon first. It just forces him to use it.

GivePlayerWeapon gives the player the weapon

SetPlayerArmedWeapon causes them to be equipped with it. (or anything in the players inventory)
