# Clothing

By default, the script works out-of-the-box with `illenium-appearance`, `qb-clothing`, and native `esx_skin`. If you are using a different custom clothing/appearance resource, you can integrate it easily.

There are two main areas to check: the **Custom Client File** and your **Framework Bridge**.

### 1. Applying Clothes to Ped Lineups

When the cinematic camera pans across your characters, the script needs to know how to apply their saved skin data to the ped models.

Open `custom/client.lua` and locate:

```lua
function Custom_ApplyPlayerClothing(ped, skinData)
    -- By default, it defers to the bridge file
    Bridge.Client.ApplyPlayerClothing(ped, skinData)
end
```

To modify how clothes are applied, open your respective framework bridge (e.g., `bridge/client/qbcore.lua` or `esx.lua`) and find `Bridge.Client.ApplyPlayerClothing`:

```lua
Bridge.Client.ApplyPlayerClothing = function(ped, skinData)
    -- Add your custom export or event here. Example for a custom appearance script:
    -- exports['my_custom_appearance']:setPedAppearance(ped, skinData)
    
    -- Default illenium-appearance implementation:
    if GetResourceState('illenium-appearance') == 'started' then
        exports['illenium-appearance']:setPedAppearance(ped, skinData)
    else
        TriggerEvent('qb-clothing:client:loadPlayerClothing', skinData, ped)
    end
end
```

### 2. Triggering the Character Creator

When a player finishes creating a **new character** in the UI, they drop from the sky and need to be presented with the clothing menu to create their face/outfit.

Open your respective framework bridge (e.g., `bridge/client/qbcore.lua`) and locate `Bridge.Client.LoadSkin`:

```lua
Bridge.Client.LoadSkin = function(isNewChar)
    if isNewChar then
        -- Replace this with your custom clothing creator event
        -- Example: TriggerEvent('my_custom_appearance:client:openCharacterCreator')
        TriggerEvent('qb-clothes:client:CreateFirstCharacter')
    end
end
```
