Yes that could do exactly what I need it to, so I tried it out but when the switch is on weird stuff happens.
so the first 3 armors I have in the database are 3 helmets in which I am using as "Hair" slots.
so in the character creation I have it where you choose a haircut, so right after choosing a gender (when the switch is on) The sprite of Actor 1 from the helmet ID 2 is drawn on top of the Helmet ID 2 of Actor 2. and armor ID 7 isn't showing while the switch is on. I am probably confusing sometimes so Ill get you a picture in a sec.
here
(and yes I do have 2 versions for everything)
it might be something really simple, but I don't know what it is :S
