# Clothing & Character

The 3D character, clothing as items, outfits and the armor slot.

File: `editable/clothing.lua`.

## 3D character

While the inventory is open, a copy of your character stands next to it (only you see it). The clothing slots sit on its body and follow it.

* Turn it off for everyone with `Config.Character3D = false` (`editable/config.lua`). Players can also turn it off in the settings.
* Move it with `Config.Preview`: `distance` (smaller = bigger), `height`, `side`, `light`.
* Searching another player (`/openinv`, police search) shows **their** character.

## Clothing as items

What a character wears are **items** in 12 clothing slots: hat, glasses, ears, mask, neck, bag, top, vest, pants, shoes, watch, wrist.

* The first time a character opens the inventory, what it wears turns into items by itself.
* **Use** a clothing item (or drag it onto the character) to put it on. **Double click** a worn item to take it off.
* Clothing items can be given, dropped, stored and traded like any item.
* A clothing item is made for one body (male or female). It does not fit the other.
* Bought new clothes in a clothing store? Open the inventory and the new pieces become items. The **Refresh clothes** button does the same (once per `RefreshCooldown` seconds).

{% hint style="info" %}
A character got the wrong clothes as items (for example the look of another character)? Run `/clothesreset <id>`, give the character the right look, then open the inventory: the slots are read again.

| Option            | Default  | What it does                                                        |
| ----------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Enabled`         | `true`   | Clothing slots on / off                                             |
| `Categories`      | 12 slots | Which ped parts each slot holds, and where it sits on the character |
| `Anims`           | -        | Put on / take off animation per slot                                |
| `Naked`           | -        | What the ped wears when a slot is empty                             |
| `ItemWeight`      | `200`    | Grams per clothing item                                             |
| `RefreshCooldown` | `60`     | Seconds between **Refresh clothes**                                 |
| `MaxItems`        | `40`     | Most clothing items one character may own                           |

## Outfits

The **Undress** button packs everything you wear into one **Outfit** item. **Use** an outfit item to put it all on: what you wore goes into the outfit item, so one item is your other look.

Turn it off with `Outfits = false`.

## Armor slot

With `Armor.Enabled = true`, a 13th slot holds armor items. The armor item gives its armor to the ped. Damage wears the item down, and at 0 it breaks.

```lua
Armor = {
    Enabled = false,
    Items = { armor = 50, heavyarmor = 100 },   -- item name = armor when new
},
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
Armor is **off** by default, because `qb-smallresources` uses `armor` as a one-time item. Turn it on when you want armor to stay on the character as an item.
{% endhint %}

## Backpacks

A worn backpack (the "bag" slot) adds `Config.BackpackBonus` slots and weight to the inventory. See [Item life cycle](/striga-docs/striga-inventory/items-shops-and-stashes.md#item-life-cycle).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://striga.gitbook.io/striga-docs/striga-inventory/clothing-and-character.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
