Beyond that, if you're not too quick releasing the ESC key to close the menu, the quick status just pops back up!
Here's my current code:

OK, this has been vexing me for hours. When I open the menu, the quick status opens OK, but the top two heroboxes don't appear (as if there's no one in the slot) and the 3rd one shows its generic data (as if it wasn't written to at all).

This part looks wrong:
If you want to loop through each party slot, you should do:
As for the rest of it, it is hard for me to know what is going on without knowing the exact layout of your slice collection.
Have you looked at the "lookup slice" command? You can assign lookup codes to specific slices, and then get a handle to them without having to care about how many parents they have, or which order they are in relative to their siblings.
Code:
for(i, -1, 2) do, begin
if(hero by slot(i) <> -1) then, begin
for(i, -1, 2) do, begin
if(hero by slot(i) <> -1) then, begin
If you want to loop through each party slot, you should do:
Code:
for(i, 0, 3) do, begin
for(i, 0, 3) do, begin
As for the rest of it, it is hard for me to know what is going on without knowing the exact layout of your slice collection.

So would I just need a lookup code for the first hero box?

First you would want a separate lookup code for each hero's information box.
Then you would have a single lookup code that gets re-used for each portrait, a single lookup code that gets re-used for each Level XX text, a single code that gets re-used for each hp meter rectangle, and so-on.
Does that make any sense?

I think so.

Did the script changes and the lookup codes, and the same problems occur. Is there a way to check to see if the main menu is open instead of listening to ESC? That seems to be where my "stays open after menu closes" problem stems from.

The problem is "key is pressed". What you want to write instead is
When you press ESC, this will only return true for one tick, and then return false until key repeat kicks in. I've been meaning to add a friendly wrapper around it for years...
Code:
if (keyval(key: esc) >> 1) then (
# menu...
if (keyval(key: esc) >> 1) then (
# menu...

Did some edits and now it works poifectly! Had to eliminate the loop and do things in kind of a roundabout fashion, but it's all good now.

I'm so lost... I haven't made any progress for three weeks.

Anything we can do to help? What exactly are you lost in? Scripting, graphics-ing, music-ing, etc...?

It's mostly the graphics work that I'm struggling with. I have the plot all figured out, and the scripting I believe I can handle.
