VertexColorMaskSlots
So when creating outfits/armours/helmets and such we sometimes will want to hide certain parts of the body or make it so those parts aren't hidden such as wanting a tiara not to hide hair.
You will see something like this in the merged.lsf files:
<node id="VertexColorMaskSlots">
<attribute id="Object" type="FixedString" value="Torso" />
</node>
This is the values you can use:
these are case sensitive so must be used how they are written

Other Ways to Hide Mesh Parts
So as you know there are certain helmets in the game that hide Ears.
First of you all this is done by the gr2 as if you accidentally name any part of your head Ears other than the ears themselves both will be hidden by these helmets.
If you want to purposefully do this, make sure to have Ears in the name in the data tab and object tab in blender of your mesh in blender.
