# NPC\_SetAmmo

warning

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

## Description

Sets the ammunition count for an NPC's current weapon.

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| npcid | The ID of the NPC |
| ammo | The amount of ammunition to set |

## Returns

Returns `true` if the ammo was set successfully, `false` otherwise.

## Examples

```c
public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
    if (!strcmp(cmdtext, "/setammo ", true, 9))
    {
        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 = strval(cmdtext[9]);
        if (ammo < 0)
            return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Ammo must be positive.");

        NPC_SetAmmo(npcid, ammo);
        SendClientMessage(playerid, 0x00FF00FF, "NPC %d ammo set to %d", npcid, ammo);

        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}
```

## Notes

-   Setting ammo to 0 makes the weapon unusable
-   Different weapons have different maximum ammo capacities
-   This sets total ammunition, not just the current clip
