Server

This example allows the player to type the command 'giveweapons', which gives the player a weapon for every slot. Instead of equipping the last given weapon, the script randomly decides which weapon to equip after all the weapons are given.

function givePlayerWeapons ( player, commandName )
        --Give the player a weapon for each slot
	giveWeapon ( player, 1, 1 )
	giveWeapon ( player, 2, 1 )
	giveWeapon ( player, 22, 1 )
	giveWeapon ( player, 25, 1 )
	giveWeapon ( player, 28, 1 )
	giveWeapon ( player, 30, 1 )
	giveWeapon ( player, 33, 1 )
	giveWeapon ( player, 35, 1 )
	giveWeapon ( player, 16, 1 )
	giveWeapon ( player, 42, 1 )
	giveWeapon ( player, 10, 1 )
	giveWeapon ( player, 44, 1 )
	giveWeapon ( player, 40, 1 )
        --Randomly select which weapon to equip, slots 1 through 12
	setPlayerWeaponSlot ( player, math.random ( 1, 12) )
