"setStamina" has the same effect as "setFatigue".

Note that [setStamina](../commands/setStamina.md) will not be able to exceed a 100% stamina value given by the engine. It will minimize to a maximum possible value, similar to application of the old command [setFatigue](../commands/setFatigue.md) in a range of **0..1**. Example:

```sqf
getStamina player; // 8.58
getFatigue player; // 0
player setStamina 50; // This will be minimized to 8.58 on next unit simulation cycle.
```
