Other Custom Clothes Base

I have a multitude of suits with many bodygroups that I want to integrate into Clockwork. So basically I'm going to make separate items as follows: a shirt, jacket, and tie. Each will have to have their bodygroups match for them to pair together on the models. The player will have to wear the shirt first, then choose either the tie or the jacket, or both to have different combinations of clothing with the same items. However, when I duplicate the clothes base, change the file name, then change the item.name, create a clothing item with the suit_base filename in the Clockwork.item:New the item exists. Essentially I can /chargiveitem myself a shirt, however it doesn't actually show up in my inventory. No errors in the client or server, any ideas?

ITEM:Register();

 

Wait, there's supposed to be a different result depending on which order they equip the items? That just sounds like a bad idea.

 

No, not the order necessarily. It's required you have a shirt on for you to add a tie or jacket, however that's it. Eg. You have a shirt equipped you can have a shirt and tie, a shirt and jacket, or a shirt; jacket; and tie.

I just want to make the clothes interchangable because the prices for suits are going to be steep.

Bump/Update

I've concluded that I have at least 1 brain cell and found out it wasn't showing up because the file name was "sh_closed_tie.lua" while the ITEM.name was "Jacket". Now the file name is "sh_suit_jacket.lua" and the ITEM.name is "Suit Jacket". However the item still isn't showing up in the business menu and when I give myself the item it is in the Other category and doesn't have any options.

When I switch Clockwork.item:New("suits_base"); to Clockwork.item:New("clothing_base"); it works, vice versa it doesn't.
