SSE How to manipulate armor layering?

[dirkinz]

I'm working on patches for various armor mods to add consistency to the armor slots being used. I'm hoping someone can tell me how to force certain armors to hide other armors.

 

I have two armor pieces that are not layering as I'd like. The pieces and the slots they are using are:

 

Piece A:

Model (Nif): 56, 59

Armor Adon (ARMA): 56, 59

Armor Item (ARMO): 59

 

Piece B:

Model (Nif): 59

Armor Adon (ARMA): 59

Armor Item (ARMO): 59

 

When worn alone, Piece A should display the model partitions of both slots 56 and 59. But when both Pieces are worn, Piece A should display it's slot 56 component while Piece B should display it's slot 59 component. Is there a way to accomplish this? Would it require scripts or can I manage with just esp edits?

Piece B should have a higher priority in the ArmorAddon to "win" slot 59.
