This function was added in omp v1.5.8.3079 and will not work in earlier versions!

## Description

## Returns

{
    if (!strcmp(cmdtext, "/checkammo", true))
    {
        new npcid = PlayerNPC[playerid];
        if (npcid == INVALID_NPC_ID)
            return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "You are not debugging a NPC.");

        if (!NPC_IsValid(npcid))
            return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Invalid NPC.");

        new ammo = NPC_GetAmmo(npcid);

        SendClientMessage(playerid, 0x00FF00FF, "NPC %d has %d bullets remaining on total ammo", npcid, ammo);
        return 1;
