Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
npcId |
int |
yes | The server-assigned NPC identifier returned by spawnNpc or getNpcs.

itemKey |

Examples

Notes
- Available only in server-side resource scripts.
- The state is sent reliably to current viewers and replayed on relevance entry and late join.
- Raw Unreal object paths are never accepted from Lua.
- Use
getPlayerWeaponNamesto enumerate supported keys.
Draw state since 0.1.5
Equipping does not draw or start combat. A different item resets draw mode; repeating the same item preserves it. Use setNpcWeaponMode. Ranged state is also replayed for relevance entry/late join. See NPC scripting.
