The menu item caption problem was easily fixed.

If you're not using the nightlies, an easy work around is to add a space to the beginning and end of each of those menu items.

I found the reason that the menus weren't displaying on top of the other ones: you have to turn on the "Allow Gameplay" menu bitset, otherwise the menu display script won't run because scripts aren't being processed, which means it won't bring up the other menus until you close those onscreen (and the script is finally run).

Also, instead of 4 copies of heroselect, just use one, and make it take one argument. This script will then get given the menu item handle of the slot that you selected. You can use this handle to read the hero number from either one of the 'Extra Data' fields, or just use the number of the slot. Eg:

Ok, I think I have figured out somethings...I am a bit confused as to how the hero by rank, find hero, rank in caterpillar, and hero slot work...But here is my code.

Opps, sorry, I should have thought about it instead of just repasting code. Using hero by rank is wrong.

There are 3 ways to refer to a hero. Remember the complication that you can have multiple copies of a hero in your party, so using ID numbers (constants like 'hero:Bob') won't do: it's only used for adding and finding heroes. The main way is by the position in the battle party, 0-40. This is used for referring to nearly all data for an instance of a hero (eg setherostat, setexperience, getheroname). The battle party position is returned by findhero. Finally, there's the caterpillar party position, which is used only for moving the heroes around the map.

You're using the ${c#} tag, for position in the caterpillar party, and need position in the battle party to read stats. These are normally the same, except when you rearrange your party in the Order menu leaving empty slots in the (battle) party.

So you should use
