8. In-Game Kit Building

---

8.1. Clear Your Inventory

Make sure your inventory is empty to avoid including unwanted items in the kit, since you will need to add the items you want to include directly into your inventory.

---

8.2. Open Your F1 Console

Select the items you want to include in the new kit directly from the F1 menu.

---

8.3. Create a New Kit

Enter /kit add or /kit new in the chat field to start creating a new kit.

8.4. Add Items to the Kit

Enter the kit details in the ‘KIT DETAILS’ section.

• Permission is used to restrict usage of this kit to only players with the specified permission. The permission should be prefixed with ‘kits.’ (example ‘kits.awesomekit’).
  
• Auth Level is used to restrict usage of this kit to players with at least the specified auth level (0 is player, 1 is moderator, 2 is admin).
  Is Hidden is a toggle field. When enabled this kit will not be visible in the kit grid to regular players.
  
• Maximum Uses is used to specify a maximum number of times a player can claim this kit per wipe cycle.
  
• Cooldown is the amount of time in seconds the player must wait before being able to claim this kit again.
  
• Purchase Cost is used to force players to pay to claim the kit. The currency type is defined in the config.
  
• File Name is the file name of the desired CopyPaste file. If provided, when the player claims this kit it will attempt to spawn the specified copypaste file.

Select the ‘Copy From Inventory’ button to add items in your inventory to the kit.

Select the ‘Save Kit’ button to save your kit.

8.5. Claim a Kit

• Kits without a permission can be claimed by any player.

• Kits with a permission can only be claimed by players who have the appropriate permission.

For Example, to grant a permission to a VIP group, use:
oxide.grant group VIP Kits.VIP
