Server

This example sets the weapon range of the M4 at poor skill level to 75

local rangeSet = setWeaponProperty(31, "poor", "weapon_range", 75)
if (rangeSet) then
    outputChatBox("M4 range at poor skill is set now 75!")
end

This example makes the silenced pistol dual wielded at pro skill level

setWeaponProperty(23, "pro", "flags", 0x000800) -- Warning - Depends on the current flag setting
setWeaponProperty(23, "pro", "flags", 0x000002) -- Warning - Depends on the current flag setting
setWeaponProperty(23, "pro", "maximum_clip_ammo", 34)

This examples doubles the range of the colt 45 hand gun

setWeaponProperty(22, "poor", "weapon_range", 70)
setWeaponProperty(22, "std", "weapon_range", 70)
setWeaponProperty(22, "pro", "weapon_range", 70)

This example makes the minigun able to fire all its ammo without the short reload time

setWeaponProperty("minigun", "pro", "maximum_clip_ammo", 1000)

This example turns off auto aim for all weapons

function setAutoAimForAllWeapons( bEnable )
    weaponList = { "colt 45", "silenced", "deagle", "shotgun", "sawed-off", "combat shotgun", "uzi", "mp5", "ak-47", "m4", "tec-9", "rifle", "sniper", "minigun" }
    for _,weapon in ipairs( weaponList ) do
        for _,skill in ipairs( { "poor", "std", "pro" } ) do
            setWeaponPropertyFlag( weapon, skill, 0x0001, not bEnable )
        end
    end
end

-- Set or clear an individual weapon flag bit
function setWeaponPropertyFlag( weapon, skill, flagBit, bSet )
    local bIsSet = bitAnd( getWeaponProperty(weapon, skill, "flags"), flagBit ) ~= 0
    if bIsSet ~= bSet then
        setWeaponProperty(weapon, skill, "flags", flagBit)
    end
end

-- Turn off auto aim
setAutoAimForAllWeapons( false )
