Aid Item Definition

Aid items are consumables that restore health, armor, or another tracked resource when used. Use this pattern for medical kits, bandages, syringes, and similar support items.

Placement

Register aid items in:

garrysmod/gamemodes/[schema folder]/schema/definitions/sh_items.lua

Use lia.item.registerItem in that shared file to define the item directly from code.
