I'm trying to make a slice collection show up if a certain menu is open. I'm checking whether the menu is open in an autorun script and if its true, it should put the slice on the screen. Unfortunately it doesn't work and nothing shows up instead.
Am I setting this one up wrong? Should it not be in an autorun script?

If you do it from an autorun script, that means the autorun has to continuously loop and keep checking for the menu.
I think it is better to trigger it a different way, but to suggest how I need to know more about the menu. Are you talking about the main menu when you press ESC? or some other menu started from a plotscript?

Thanks James!
Currently it would be the main menu(ESC), though that could change in the near future.

Ah, okay, that isn't too hard. Check out this article: http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/How_can_I_run_a_script_instead_of/before/after_the_menu_comes_up%3F
But I really do need to add a simple script trigger for when you press the button to display the menu.

I have another issue that is driving me crazy because I know it is something simple. Here is the script:
Basically, an NPC gets mad at a hero and they are supposed to run off the screen. However, the hero never runs or moves at all, instead just disappears instantly. Any advice would be much appreciated.
EDIT: Figured it out. Apparently you have to use find hero in a situation like this one. Works fine now!

These two lines:
should be changed to:
walk hero and wait for hero are looking for the hero's position in the party to be passed, not the hero enum itself. Putting a find hero around name will return that.
e: Missed it by that much!
Code:
walk hero (hero:NateHiding,left,15)
wait for hero (hero:NateHiding)
wait for hero (hero:NateHiding)
should be changed to:
Code:
walk hero (find hero(hero:NateHiding),left,15)
wait for hero (find hero(hero:NateHiding))
wait for hero (find hero(hero:NateHiding))
