## 1. Config Values

The properties below control whether an item is considered a wirecutter. Worn items (vests and backpacks) can have "built-in" wirecutters with the `ace_logistics_wirecutter_hasWirecutter` property.
```cpp
class CfgWeapons {
    class MyVest {
        ace_logistics_wirecutter_hasWirecutter = 1; //1 for true, 0 for false.
    };
    class MyItem {
        ACE_isWirecutter = 1; //1 for true, 0 for false.
    };
};
class CfgVehicles {
    class MyBackpack {
        ace_logistics_wirecutter_hasWirecutter = 1; //1 for true, 0 for false.
    };
};
```
