Help with sprites in battle

[Queed]

Ok, so I have the BOF battle system right? I need a script that will overlay another spirte sheet of a weapon overtop of each character depending on what weapon they have equipped. This may be hard or easy I don't really know but any help would be much appreaciated. Here's the code for the sprite part of it:

#==============================================================================
# â–  Sprite_Battler

# スプライトの状態を自動的に変化させます。

   super(viewport)
   @battler = battler
   @battler_visible = false
   @dead = false
   #aqui se define el tama?o por cada cuadro q hace la animacion del personaje,
   #puedes apreciarlo mas claramente viendo el archivo del personaje
   @frame_width, @frame_height = 160, 160
   @frames = 6
   @enemy_frames = 6
   @enemy_poses = 5
   @delay = 4
   @battler.is_a?(Game_Enemy) ? enemy_pose(0) : pose(0)
 end

All it would require is another sprite being displayed depending on the weapon name or ID or something. I really need this so thanks if you can help.

Just in case you have no idea what I'm talking about here's a picture lol...

What I want the final result to look like in battle. (2 serperate pictures overlapped)

Bump. Please, I really need this.

 

[Sheepish Bard]

Didn't they go over this in one method of Active Battlers.

Well, at least they went over weapon color.

I understand whole-heartedly what he wants and has been in my 'Considered Addons' list in my Animated Battlers topic. :yes: It is akin to what they apparently had in RM2K3 (if anyone actually used it :s ).

Nope... haven't figured it out yet either. O_o But it is akin to a 'Visual Equipment' script... but for (or including) battlers.
