GetCleanedWeaponData(Unit unit)

Number, String, Number

Used to spoof a weapon. Returns first a sync index (-1 if it's a custom weapon, BeardLib knows this way it's a custom weapon), then blueprint string of the spoofed weapon and finally its selection index.

OutfitStringFromList(Table outfit, boolean is_henchman)
