GivePedJetPack

This function is used to give a ped a jetpack, it won't work if the ped is in a vehicle.

As such, you should either expect it to fail sometimes, or repeatedly try to give a jetpack every second or so until doesPedHaveJetPack returns true. Alternatively, you can force the ped into a 'safe' position (e.g. standing on the ground) before giving the jetpack, or use a pickup to handle it.

Syntax

bool givePedJetPack ( ped thePed )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: ped:giveJetPack(...)

   if not doesPedHaveJetPack ( thePlayer ) then                   -- if the player doesn't have a jetpack
      local status = givePedJetPack ( thePlayer )                 -- give him one
      if not status then
         outputConsole ( "Failed to give jetpack.", thePlayer )   -- tell him if it failed
      end
   else
      local status = removePedJetPack ( thePlayer )               -- remove his jetpack
      if ( not status ) then
         outputConsole ( "Failed to remove jetpack.", thePlayer ) -- tell him if it failed
      end
   end
end

-- add the function above to handle the "jetpack" command
addCommandHandler ( "jetpack", consoleJetPack )
