VertexColorMaskSlots

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>

These are the values you can use: (note: these values are case sensitive)

(Hot Pink Physics Paint)	Slows physics on cloth.*	#FF0180
(Red Physics Paint)	Activates physics on cloth.*	#FF0101

*The less red in a color you use, the less flowy the physics will behave. So if you use pink vertex paint (#FF0180) for example, it will be less red overall and the physics will move more slowly.

Other Ways to Hide Mesh Parts

There are certain helmets in the game that hide ears.

First of all, this is done by the gr2, so 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 of your mesh in blender.
