-- outputChatBox triggers 3 times while setControlState triggers only once.

for i =1,(4) do
        setControlState ( "next_weapon", true )
        outputChatBox("next_fail")
        end

        end 

outputChatBox triggers 3 times while setControlState triggers only once.

I'd like to have next_weapon 3 times, but it only works once. How can I do it?

[Mr.Loki]

I still am not sure of what you are trying to accomplish.

Do you want to change the ped/player's weapon?

If so then use this setPedWeaponSlot.

I've tried to set them having instantly switch to sniper but
the trick is
if you were to bind 4>Fist, 4>Sniper
It wont instantly switch to both.
It will switch to 1 of them.
so i'm trying to toggle "next_weapon" control till i reach the weapon i desire.

[Mr.Loki]

Are you using any script to change the weapons?

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot,
    function()


        wnd = guiCreateWindow(455, 191, 425, 227, "", false)
        guiWindowSetSizable(wnd, false)

        butt1 = guiCreateButton(14, 30, 133, 32, "deagle", false, wnd)
        butt2 = guiCreateButton(199, 38, 150, 34, "shotgun", false, wnd)
		butt3 = guiCreateButton(300, 10, 150, 34, "2", false, wnd)
        ebox = guiCreateEdit(139, 111, 182, 45, "", false, wnd) 
		
		 addEventHandler( "onClientGUIClick", butt1, function()
		 if (source==butt1) then
		slot1= tostring(guiGetText (ebox)) 
		bindKey(slot1,"down",function()
		cslot1= getPedWeaponSlot ( localPlayer )
		if ((2-cslot1) > 0) then
		for i =1,(2-cslot1) do
		setControlState ( "next_weapon", true )
		outputChatBox("next_fail")
		end
		elseif((2-cslot1)<0) then
		for i =1,(cslot1-2) do
		setControlState ( "previous_weapon", true )
		outputChatBox("pre_fail")
		end
			
		end
		end)
		end
		end)
		end)

that's when i tried "next_weapon" control.

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot,
    function()


        wnd = guiCreateWindow(455, 191, 425, 227, "", false)
        guiWindowSetSizable(wnd, false)

        butt1 = guiCreateButton(14, 30, 133, 32, "deagle", false, wnd)
        butt2 = guiCreateButton(199, 38, 150, 34, "shotgun", false, wnd)
		butt3 = guiCreateButton(300, 10, 150, 34, "2", false, wnd)
        ebox = guiCreateEdit(139, 111, 182, 45, "", false, wnd) 
		
		 addEventHandler( "onClientGUIClick", butt1, function()
		 if (source==butt1) then
		slot1= tostring(guiGetText (ebox)) 
		bindKey(slot1,"down",function()
		setPedWeaponSlot (localPlayer,2)
		end)
		end
		end)
		addEventHandler( "onClientGUIClick", butt2, function()
		 if (source==butt2) then
		slot2= tostring(guiGetText (ebox)) 
		bindKey(slot2,"down",function()
		setPedWeaponSlot (localPlayer,3)
		end)
		end
		end)
		
		
		end)

that one when i tried to bind one key for 2 functions
only the 2nd entered function will work.
