GivePlayerJetPack

	This function is deprecated. This means that its use is discouraged and that it might not exist in future versions, but there should be a more generic way to perform what it does.

This function is used to give a player a jetpack.

This function is not guaranteed to succeed. There are some cases where the jetpack cannot be given, for example:

• If the player is in a vehicle
• If the player is falling
• Probably others too.

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

Syntax

bool givePlayerJetPack ( player thePlayer )

Required Arguments

• thePlayer: The player you want to give a jetpack to.

Returns

Returns true if a jetpack was successfully given to the player, false if it could not be given.

Example

This examples adds a "jetpack" console command, which gives or removes a jetpack from the player.

 [lua]
-- Checks whether or not the player has a jetpack, and gives or removes it from the player
function consoleJetPack ( thePlayer, commandName )
   if ( not doesPlayerHaveJetPack ( thePlayer ) ) then            -- if the player doesn't have a jetpack
      local status = givePlayerJetPack ( thePlayer )              -- give him one
      if ( not status ) then
         outputConsole ( "Failed to give jetpack.", thePlayer )   -- tell him if it failed
      end
   else
      local status = removePlayerJetPack ( 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 )
