📦Installation

1. Add Items to Core

Add the following item definitions to your core item config (shared.gta5.lua):

["armourplatelevel2"] = {
    ["label"] = "Level 2 Kevlar Plate",
    ["weight"] = 550,
    ["type"] = "item",
    ["image"] = "l2plate.webp",
    ["unique"] = false,
    ["stackable"] = false,
    ["useable"] = true,
    ["shouldClose"] = true,
    ["description"] = "Protects against 9mm and .357 Magnum"
},

["armourplatelevel3a"] = {
    ["label"] = "Level 3A Kevlar Plate",
    ["weight"] = 700,
    ["type"] = "item",
    ["image"] = "l3aplate.webp",
    ["unique"] = false,
    ["stackable"] = false,
    ["useable"] = true,
    ["shouldClose"] = true,
    ["description"] = "Protects against 9mm, .357 SIG, .44 Magnum"
},

["armourplatelevel3"] = {
    ["label"] = "Level 3 Steel Plate",
    ["weight"] = 3600,
    ["type"] = "item",
    ["image"] = "l3plate.webp",
    ["unique"] = false,
    ["stackable"] = false,
    ["useable"] = true,
    ["shouldClose"] = true,
    ["description"] = "Stops 7.62mm NATO FMJ (e.g., AK-47, AR-10)"
},

["armourplatelevel4"] = {
    ["label"] = "Level 4 Steel Plate",
    ["weight"] = 4500,
    ["type"] = "item",
    ["image"] = "l4plate.webp",
    ["unique"] = false,
    ["stackable"] = false,
    ["useable"] = true,
    ["shouldClose"] = true,
    ["description"] = "Stops .30-06 armor-piercing (AP) rounds"
},

2. Add Item Images

Place the following images into your inventory image directory:

• l2plate.webp

• l3aplate.webp

• l3plate.webp

• l4plate.webp

Make sure the filenames match the "image" values in the item entries.

---

3. Run the Resource

Start or ensure the script in your server’s configuration file (e.g. resources.cfg, server.cfg).

---

4. Use the Items In-Game

Once everything is added and the server is running, simply spawn or purchase the plates and use them to apply the armour.
