Please use setPedWearingJetpack instead.


This function is used to give a ped a jetpack, it won't work if the ped is in a vehicle.

As such, you should either expect it to fail sometimes, or repeatedly try to give a jetpack every second or so until doesPedHaveJetPack returns true. Alternatively, you can force the ped into a 'safe' position (e.g. standing on the ground) before giving the jetpack, or use a pickup to handle it.

Syntax

bool givePedJetPack ( ped thePed )
