Summary
So, I've been trying to create a special HUD for my game since at the end, there are 6 members in the party. This is my first coding in the game, and it's probably not the easiest to follow. I'm using VX ACE. Looking good at the beginning: My code works, so I'm not looking for issues in the code, but how to add the remaining functionality of: removing the portraits of all 6 characters being drawn in between every attack.

Looking good at the beginning:
My code works, so I'm not looking for issues in the code, but how to add the remaining functionality of:
- removing the portraits of all 6 characters being drawn in between every attack. Basically, I need one function for draw_all_items and another for draw_all_NameHP. I need to call the draw_all_items for setting it up, but want to call draw_all_NameHP between battle attacks so I don't rerender all the portraits over and over again. I'm unsure where in the code I can insert my functions in-between battle rounds.
- when the command list is drawn for each character, that character's portrait becomes fully-colored in the battle_status window. Currently it only draws it the moment you select a command from the command list, not prior to. This makes it look like you're choosing a command from the previous ally, and I can't see where in the code I can alter this.

As you can see, it processes the command list, and when I select "Playlist" it will draw his colored portrait and open the target window. I want this done before you select the command as it looks...broken (well, because it is). NOTE: I know the names and HP aren't updating on the main window. It's the first fix I'm making today and I know where the issue is.
- removing cursor

I can't find any support on disabling the cursor window.
Found this:
def update_cursor
self.cursor_rect.empty
end
Here is my code:
A few notes:
This is some nasty/inefficient code, but it's my first stab at Ruby and I'm still learning how everything works.
draw_item draws the player portrait
draw_itemNH draws the player's Name and HP
any duplicate function that ends with *gt is very similar except it draws it greyscale (having to change hue to a great value) and transparency. This is intensive and I want to remove this from in between every part of the attack phase. I can flip the draw_item and draw_itemNH so that the main call is of the name and HP, and then I tell it when to draw the portrait, but I have other issues as well
