Client exports

These run on the local client. Vest and helmet checks take no player id.

Vest

local wearing = exports.MrNewbPlateCarriers:IsPlayerWearingVest()
local state = exports.MrNewbPlateCarriers:GetPlateCarrierState()

IsPlayerWearingVest is the local visual flag (true after the equip event). GetPlateCarrierState returns LocalPlayer.state.plateCarrier or { equipped = false }.

Helmet and combined HUD

local wearingHelmet = exports.MrNewbPlateCarriers:IsPlayerWearingHelmet()
local armor = exports.MrNewbPlateCarriers:GetPlateArmorState()

GetPlateArmorState returns { carrier = ..., helmet = ... } from the local state bags (same shape as the server export).

Inspect menu

exports.MrNewbPlateCarriers:OpenPlateCarrierMenu()

Opens the equipped-carrier plate list (/inspectvest). No-ops with an error notify if no vest is equipped. Selecting a slot asks the server to remove that plate.
