Server exports

All of these take a player source. Check the return before continuing inventory or loadout logic.

Vest

local wearing = exports.MrNewbPlateCarriers:IsPlayerWearingVest(src)
local removed = exports.MrNewbPlateCarriers:ForceRemovePlayerVest(src)

IsPlayerWearingVest is true when player metadata PlateCarrier has a metadata table. ForceRemovePlayerVest runs the same path as /removevest (progress, then item back to inventory) and returns a boolean.

Helmet

local wearingHelmet = exports.MrNewbPlateCarriers:IsPlayerWearingHelmet(src)
local removedHelmet = exports.MrNewbPlateCarriers:ForceRemovePlayerHelmet(src)

IsPlayerWearingHelmet reads player metadata PlateHelmet. ForceRemovePlayerHelmet matches /removehelmet.

HUD state

local armor = exports.MrNewbPlateCarriers:GetPlateArmorState(src)

armor.carrier is the plateCarrier state bag: equipped, and when worn name, condition, max, plus plates (slot → { item, condition, max, material } or false).

armor.helmet is the plateHelmet bag: equipped, and when worn name, condition, max.

The same snapshots replicate on those player state bags. Do not write the bags from other resources.
