I'm trying to use notetags on equipped items to create a passive ability display, where the player can quickly see special effects granted by an equipped item in a window on the equip screen or in their status screen. (The notetag itself does not grant any effects on the actor; it is solely for the purpose of displaying special effects.) To see what I'm talking about, here is a mock-up I made of how the equipment screen would look:
The lower-left window displays the special effects of the respective equipment. Gee, I wonder what inspired this idea...
The notetag I decided to use for this is "<autoab: [number], [string]>", where the number is the icon number to be displayed and the string is a line of text to display. (So the first example on the mock-up would be something like: <autoab: 112, "Heal on Attack 1%">)
I've looked at several tutorials by RPG Maker scripters on notetags, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to save the number and the string separately. (Which, to be frank, I don't blame the tutorials for in the slightest; I've learned everything I know through brute-force trial-and-error-emphasis-on-the-"error".) I'm fairly certain I'll be able to work out how to display the icon and string once I have the information, but how do I get the information from the notetag properly?

Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!

The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?
