❌ No Weapons — Arena PvP (ox_inventory Integration)

Preventing Weapon Disappearance Inside Arena

If you are using ox_inventory, you may notice that weapons disappear or get removed when entering Arena PvP.

To fix this issue, you need to make small modifications to the ox_inventory script so it respects the Arena statebag:

This ensures that inventory logic does not interfere while the player is inside Arena.

---

🛠 Step 1 — Edit ox_inventory (client.lua)

1️⃣ Open: ox_inventory/client.lua

---

2️⃣ Locate this line:

local weaponHash = GetSelectedPedWeapon(playerPed)

3️⃣ Just below it, you will find:

if currentWeapon then

Replace it with:

if currentWeapon and not LocalPlayer.state.inArena then

This prevents ox_inventory from interfering with weapons while the player is inside Arena PvP.

🛠 Step 2 — Prevent Weapon Mismatch Removal

Scroll further down and find:

elseif client.weaponmismatch and not client.ignoreweapons[weaponHash]

Replace it with:

elseif client.weaponmismatch and not client.ignoreweapons[weaponHash] and not LocalPlayer.state.inArena then

This ensures weapon mismatch checks are ignored while the player is inside Arena.

🛠 Step 3 — Block Inventory Open Inside Arena

To prevent players from opening inventory while inside Arena:

Find this line (near the top of the file):

if IsPauseMenuActive() then return end

Add this directly below it:

if LocalPlayer.state.inArena then return end

🧩 Other Cases

If you are not using ox_inventory, you need to:

1. Identify which script manages weapon saving on your server.

2. Add a check using:

if LocalPlayer.state.inArena then
    return
end

Anywhere weapons are:

• Saved

• Restored

• Synced

• Loaded on reconnect

🔐 Using Anti-Cheat

If your server uses an anti-cheat:

• Contact the anti-cheat developer.

• Inform them that Arena PvP uses LocalPlayer.state.inArena.

• Ask them to whitelist weapon changes while the statebag is true.
