If they have a lot of weapons you can even remove these and just change the scroll order. For example, given the following weapons: 2 (golf club), 3 (nitestick), 4 (knife) (slot 1) 22 (colt 45), 23 (silenced pistol), 24 (deagle) (slot 2) 25 (shotgun), 26 (sawed-off), 27 (spaz) (slot 3) You initially give them 2, 22, and 25 and set their armed weapon to 22. If they switch to 2 (scroll down) remove 25 and given them 26, thus scrolling down again will loop back to the sawed-off shotgun. If the scroll up instead to 25, they now have the normal shotgun armed and you can replace 2 with 4. This way, the scrolling order basically becomes: 25 22 2 26 23 3 27 24 4 And they only ever have three weapons on the client - the current weapon and one either side. With more active slots, you can move the replaced slot further away from the current weapon to become more responsive.

I like your way of thinking, thanks for this solution.
