Basically I need it to display the main characters (only 1, only ever the same character) Current HP, their status effects, and 2 variables. It will also have some icons.
I'd like it to be the least laggy as possible. If it helps the lag, I can have it be called only when there is a change to the HP/Status or ammo.
The 2 weapon icons I'd like to be set to a variable instead of a fixed type because it changes depending on what's equipped, but it doesn't change in battle at least.
If it helps, I have a previous script I was using but it is very laggy (It brings my FPS from 60 to 8) but it's there for a reference:

# Jens009 Simple HP/SP/State HUD
# Version 2.0
# Release Date: August 11,2008
#============================================================================
# Modified by: OriginalWij
#============================================================================
# Description: Display an HP/SP and State HUD information in map.
# Compatibility: Should be compatible with any system
# Configuration:
# I. Turning off the HUD in game
# use the call script $game_system.show_hud = true/false
# true = show HUD, false = disable HUD
# II. Changing maximum information shown
# look at SHOW_MAX under JCONFIG, you can change the value to show
# how many of the actors in the party to display their information
# by default, it is set to show only 2 actors.
# III. Changing maximum information shown in game
# use the call script JCONFIG::SHOW_MAX = *integer*
# You can change the amount of actors displayed in the HUD in game.
# simply change integer to the value you want.
# IV. Changing Update methods
# if you want the HUD to always update, set ALWAYS_UPDATE_HUD to true
# but if you want to only update the HUD whenever you want to, set
# this to false.
# When $game_sysyem.always_update is false, you can update the hud
# manually in game using the call script $game_system.refresh_hud = true.
# this will refresh the hud information once.
# However, you can also switch between always updating the HUD and
# only updating the hud once during in game.
# Simply use the call script:
# $game_sysyem.always_update = true/false
# and to reupdate once
# $game_system.refresh_hud = true
#
# Optimization to achieve higher FPS
# 1) Set SHOW_MAX to a low value
# You can also:
# 2) Set $game_sysyem.always_update = false
# 2.1) Use $game_temp.refresh_hud = true to reupdate the hud manually.
