About

GiveSlotItemNum places items into numbered hotbar slots (0, 9) rather than dropping them into your inventory. This is handy when you need to hand out a pre-equipped tool or weapon, or when you want precise control over where an item lands in your hotbar.

You must use the item's numerical ID, not its GFI code. If you do not know the ID, look it up in the item reference or use GiveItem or GiveItemNum instead. The slot number argument determines which hotbar position receives the item (0 is leftmost); the amount controls how many copies stack into that slot.
