Best code to use

[AaronG85]

What would be the best code to use to add an item to a new group? or add one to a group if that vanilla item doesn't have a group?

InsertAfter

Thanks BFT2020 but using modDyeBlack as an example how would i add it to a group (like the full code if you could help)

[BFT2020]

 

Adding to an existing group:

<insertAfter xpath="/lootcontainers/lootgroup[@name='modMeleeT1']/item[@name='modFuelTankSmall']">

	<item name="modDyeBlack"/>

</insertAfter >

 

Adding a new group

<insertAfter xpath="/lootcontainers/lootgroup[@name='dyes']">

	<lootgroup name="dyesNew">

		<item name="modDyeBlack"/>

	</lootgroup>

</insertAfter >

 

You can also use insertBefore

I'm doing something wrong here, I'm trying to add the dyes into the CFChemicals group so they show up in the chemistry station menu?

 

	<insertAfter xpath="/lootcontainers/lootgroup[@name='dyes']/item[@name='Group']">

		<lootgroup name="CFChemicals">
			<item name="modDyeBlack"/>
			<item name="modDyeBlue"/>
			<item name="modDyeBrown"/>
			<item name="modDyeGreen"/>
			<item name="modDyePink"/>
			<item name="modDyePurple"/>
			<item name="modDyeRed"/>
			<item name="modDyeWhite"/>
			<item name="modDyeYellow"/>
		</lootgroup>

	</insertAfter >

Since you are inserting a new group, rmove the /item[....] after 'dyes']  What it is looking for is a item group inside of lootgroup "dyes" instead of creating a new group after the dyes group.

 

It should be 

<insertAfter xpath="/lootcontainers/lootgroup[@name='dyes']">
