How do I draw certain piece of equipment on the menu...?

Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask... but okay.

What I want is to for example display a character's equipped weapon next to their face, nickname class etc... for a menu...

with the icon and everything..

draw_actor_equips(7) obviously does not work so I would really appreciated if anyone could teach me how to code this...

Any help is appreciated!

In the Window_EquipSlot script there is the draw_item method
at first glance it looks like it doesn't draw the icon anywhere here.
Inside that is the draw_item_name
when you trace it back (search by ctrl+shift+F)
in Window_Base is draw_item_name method and inside that is the draw_icon call.
So looking at the data that gets passed through, we can see that the draw icon wants the item and it's position with it enabled or not. Equip_Slot passes the item through with @actor.equips[index]
The actor equip index starts at 0 for the weapon up to however many equips you have.
Then looking at Window_Base at the draw_icon call, you see it uses the item.icon_index to draw the icon.
Then you just need to figure out where to place the icon on the Window_MenuStatus
Using draw_icon(actor.equips[0].icon_index, rect.x, rect.y, true)
you will just need to adjust the rect.x and rect.y for positioning the icon.
This of course would have to go into the draw_item method

Thank you so much for your help!

I put draw_item_name(actor.equips[0],dx + 160, dy) and that did exactly what I wanted to achieve with Ace Menu engine.
