[QUESTION] Get the next and previous weapon

[Dzsozi (h03)]

Hello, I would like to make a custom weapon switching screen with dx functions and I would like to display the current weapon, the previous weapon and the next weapon after the current. My question is how I can make that possible and how can I draw these 3 weapons with dx?

I would like to make the script work like if you hold a button a panel appears and if you scroll you scroll to the next weapon, but you can see the weapon you had before on the previous slot. It's kinda hard to explain in words, but take a look at the gif I made:

Hope you know now what I mean. So how can I do that? Is this possible?

Oh and one more thing I forgot: How can I get the ammo of the next and the previous weapons?

Try this

• Previous weapon

function getPreviousWeapon() 
    local tempSlot = {} 
    local curSlot = getPedWeaponSlot(localPlayer) 
    if (curSlot == 0) and (getPedWeapon(localPlayer) == 0 or getPedWeapon(localPlayer) == 1) then 
        curSlot = 13 
    end 
     
    tempSlot["ID"] = 13 
    repeat 
        tempSlot["ID"] = tempSlot["ID"]-1 
    until (tempSlot["ID"] < curSlot) and not (tempSlot["ID"] ~= 0 and getPedWeapon(localPlayer, tempSlot["ID"]) == 0) 
    return getPedWeapon(localPlayer, tempSlot["ID"]) 
end 

• Next Weapon

function getNextWeapon() 
    local tempSlot = {} 
    local curSlot = getPedWeaponSlot(localPlayer) 
    if (curSlot == 12) then 
        curSlot = - 1 
    end 
     
    tempSlot["ID"] = - 1 
    repeat 
        tempSlot["ID"] = tempSlot["ID"] + 1 
        if tempSlot["ID"] == 13 then 
            tempSlot["ID"] = -1 
            curSlot = -1 
        end 
    until (tempSlot["ID"] > curSlot) and not (tempSlot["ID"] ~= 0 and getPedWeapon(localPlayer, tempSlot["ID"]) == 0) 
    return getPedWeapon(localPlayer, tempSlot["ID"]) 
end
