			The exporter can find the rig an object is skinned to, but it is advised to keep the two in a single layer. <br \>

			The export set up with animation files referencing the base file remains the same. Setting up the animaiton data and exporting remains the same as well. <br \>
			Importing and creating the root remaind the same too. The use action changes though. You set the use action to '''open/close''' instead. <br \>
			You'll also need to define the '''Treasure UI Type''' and give '''Treasure''' a treasure stats to have it fully function as a container .
