Object Groups
Object groups are lists of ObjectIDs that can spawn together per group, this is useful if you want players to get several items such as a specific weapon and attachments on a single purchase or loot drop.
Each group's name has no affect other than readability, you open the Group with then gives you a list of Group IDs which is made up of ObjectIDs. You can find Object ID's by checking with the Item Spawner or using the Toolbox's Object Info tool. You can also get relevant information from the H3VR Meta Viewer
Each Group represents a single item on the list of potential spawn-able groups when the system randomly selects for the Buy Menu and Loot Drops
Loot Tags
The loot tag system is what all H3VR items in theory use to define what they are in the games database, with several tags set it can produce a list of items (including mod items) that can be spawned through the Buy Menu or Loot Drops If you do not know what Tags an item has, you can check it in H3VR using the Item Spawner or Object Info tool from the Toolbox, alternatively you can use the H3VR Meta Viewer
Subtractive IDs
A list of ObjectIDs that you want to blacklist from being spawned from the Item Category, useful if you want to remove a single item from a otherwise good Loot Tag set of items.
