This event is triggered whenever a player's equipped weapon slot changes. This means giveWeapon and takeWeapon will trigger this event if the equipped slot is forced to change.

Parameters

int previousWeaponID, int currentWeaponID
  • previousWeaponID: An integer representing the weapon that was switched from.
  • currentWeaponID: An integer representing the weapon that was switched to.

Source

The source of this event is the player that switched his weapon.

Example

This example disables use of the minigun upon switch. It should be noted that this can be done more efficiently clientside.

Cancel effect

If this event is canceled, then the player's weapon won't be switched.

WeaponID = {
	[31] = true,
	[36] = true,
	[38] = true,
}

--add an event handler for onPlayerWeaponSwitch
addEventHandler ( 'onPlayerWeaponSwitch', getRootElement ( ),
	function ( previousWeaponID, currentWeaponID )
		if ( WeaponID[currentWeaponID] ) then
			toggleControl ( source, 'fire', false ) --disable the fire button
		else
			toggleControl ( source, 'fire', true ) --enable it
		end
	end
)
