Visual PaperDoll Equipment Script

[JayRay]

Hello everyone, I need help...

I am using  Yanfly Engine Ace - Ace Equip Engine v1.06 that allows to addon several new layers to equipment, and that works fine for my equipment screen. I've even got it to recognize the extra icons in Mog's Ultimate Hud for the additional layers, but here's what I'd like to do.

I've re-arranged some of the windows to show the different layers and am placing that variation of the script here. I'd like to add an additional window that takes the equipment sections and creates a paperdoll of the character. I've created a mockup of what that would sort of look like....

# ▼ Introduction
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# The default equipment system in RPG Maker VX is the standard equipment system
# seen in all of the previous iterations, which consists of weapon, shield,
# headgear, bodygear, and accessory. To break free of that norm, this script
# allows users access to giving actors and/or classes dynamic equipment setups
# (including having multiples of the same categories). In addition to having
# different equip slot setups, newer equipment types can be made to allow for
# more diversity in armour types.
#
#==============================================================================
# ▼ Instructions
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# To install this script, open up your script editor and copy/paste this script
# to an open slot below ▼ Materials/素材 but above ▼ Main. Remember to save.
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Actor Notetags - These notetags go in the actors notebox in the database.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# <equip slots>
#  string
#  string
# </equip slots>
# This sets the actor's default slots to whatever is listed in between the two
# notetags. An actor's custom equip slots will take priority over a class's
# custom equip slots, which will take priority over the default equip slots.
# Replace "string" with the proper equipment type name or when in doubt, use
# "equip type: x" with x as the equipment type.
#
# <starting gear: x>
# <starting gear: x, x>
# Adds armour x to the actor's list of starting gear. This is used primarily
# for the newer pieces of gear that can't be added through the starting set of
# equipment through the RPG Maker VX Ace editor by default. Insert multiple of
# these notetags to add more pieces of starting gear if so desired.
#
# <fixed equip: x>
# <fixed equip: x, x>
# This will fix the equip type x. Fixed equip slots mean that the equipment
# already on it are unable to be exchanged in or out by the player. This tag
# has been made so that equip types can be fixed for equip type 5 and above.
# Use multiple of these notetags to add more fixed equipment restrictions.
#
# <sealed equip: x>
# <sealed equip: x, x>
# This will seal the equip type x. Sealed equip slots mean that no equipment
# can be equipped onto that equip type slot. This tag has been made so that
# equip types can be sealed for equip type 5 and above. Use multiple of these
# notetags to add more sealed equipment restrictions.
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Class Notetags - These notetags go in the class notebox in the database.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# <equip slots>
#  string
#  string
# </equip slots>
# This sets the class's default slots to whatever is listed in between the two
# notetags. An actor's custom equip slots will take priority over a class's
# custom equip slots, which will take priority over the default equip slots.
# Replace "string" with the proper equipment type name or when in doubt, use
# "equip type: x" with x as the equipment type.
#
# <fixed equip: x>
# <fixed equip: x, x>
# This will fix the equip type x. Fixed equip slots mean that the equipment
# already on it are unable to be exchanged in or out by the player. This tag
# has been made so that equip types can be fixed for equip type 5 and above.
# Use multiple of these notetags to add more fixed equipment restrictions.
#
# <sealed equip: x>
# <sealed equip: x, x>
# This will seal the equip type x. Sealed equip slots mean that no equipment
# can be equipped onto that equip type slot. This tag has been made so that
# equip types can be sealed for equip type 5 and above. Use multiple of these
# notetags to add more sealed equipment restrictions.
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Weapon Notetags - These notetags go in the weapons notebox in the database.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# <fixed equip: x>
# <fixed equip: x, x>
# This will fix the equip type x. Fixed equip slots mean that the equipment
# already on it are unable to be exchanged in or out by the player. This tag
# has been made so that equip types can be fixed for equip type 5 and above.
# Use multiple of these notetags to add more fixed equipment restrictions.
#
# <sealed equip: x>
# <sealed equip: x, x>
# This will seal the equip type x. Sealed equip slots mean that no equipment
# can be equipped onto that equip type slot. This tag has been made so that
# equip types can be sealed for equip type 5 and above. Use multiple of these
# notetags to add more sealed equipment restrictions.
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Armour Notetags - These notetags go in the armour notebox in the database.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# <equip type: x>
# <equip type: string>
# For the newer equip types, replace x or string with the equip type ID or the
# name of the equip type respectively. This will set that armour to that
# particular equip type.
#
# <fixed equip: x>
# <fixed equip: x, x>
# This will fix the equip type x. Fixed equip slots mean that the equipment
# already on it are unable to be exchanged in or out by the player. This tag
# has been made so that equip types can be fixed for equip type 5 and above.
# Use multiple of these notetags to add more fixed equipment restrictions.
#
# <sealed equip: x>
# <sealed equip: x, x>
# This will seal the equip type x. Sealed equip slots mean that no equipment
# can be equipped onto that equip type slot. This tag has been made so that
# equip types can be sealed for equip type 5 and above. Use multiple of these
# notetags to add more sealed equipment restrictions.
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# State Notetags - These notetags go in the states notebox in the database.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# <fixed equip: x>
# <fixed equip: x, x>
# This will fix the equip type x. Fixed equip slots mean that the equipment
# already on it are unable to be exchanged in or out by the player. This tag
# has been made so that equip types can be fixed for equip type 5 and above.
# Use multiple of these notetags to add more fixed equipment restrictions.
#
# <sealed equip: x>
# <sealed equip: x, x>
# This will seal the equip type x. Sealed equip slots mean that no equipment
# can be equipped onto that equip type slot. This tag has been made so that

 here's what I sorta want it to look like. Now, also, I wanted it to be known that this is for a point and click adventure game, not necessarily a sprite visual equipment, but I WOULD want a version of the window that can also be used in HUD on the main screen too, possibly as an extension of Ventwig's HUD

here's the mockup of sort of what I'm going for.
