Spawn pistol into player's inventory (not hands)

[roguetrooper 2]

How could it be achieved to spawn a pistol (AS THE ONLY WEAPON) into a player's inventory so that the pistol remains within the inventory and is not taken into hands automatically?

When you give a player a weapon (player addweapon "weaponname") and immediately execute

player action ["SWITCHWEAPON",player,player,-1]

the gun still in his hands for a second.

Maybe this:

anim_player = animationState player;
player addWeapon "classname";
player action ["SWITCHWEAPON",player,player,-1]
player switchMove anim_player;

What about

player addItemToUniform "hgun_Rook40_F";

? Same goes for addItemToVest and addItemToBackpack.

Sure, that's not the same thing though.

I'd also go for the switchMove

What I always do for this is just spawn a box in the editor and add this to the init:  ["AmmoboxInit",[this,true]] call BIS_fnc_arsenal;

Now go ingame and open the arsenal then pick whatever you want, exit the arsenal > put it in your bags etc etc...

And again back to the arsenal to save or export it for use...

 

 

If you know all the names it is easy to just add it like 7erra says...

But if not, yea it might be easier to just use the arsenal instead.

When you click on export it automatically removes everything and add's the things you've just exported(also when u put things in u bag as explained).

Now you can just paste this code directly into the init of the players unit.

Thanks to everybody. Tajin's code does exactly what I was aiming at.
