I'm currently using this script to create a HUD;
Code:

  def update
    @hud_sprite.update

end

  def initialize
    super(-20, -10, 320, 160)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    self.opacity = 0
    @actor = $game_party.actors[0]

    self.contents.font.color = @actor.hp <= @actor.maxhp / 4 ? crisis_color : 
    @actor.hp == 0 ? knockout_color : normal_color
    self.contents.draw_text(131, 10, 150, 32, "#{@actor.hp}/#{@actor.maxhp}")
    self.contents.font.color = @actor.sp == 0 ? crisis_color : normal_color

    # Draw Border

        self.contents.fill_rect(x + i - 1, y + height - j, 1, 1, Color.new(r, g, b, a))
      end
    end
  end
end

But I'm also using a script to make the player start on a map, but this will show the HUD during the 'titlescreen'. I also like to have it turned off during certain cut-scenes and a few other (special) maps. So, I'd like to have a small edit of this so I can turn off the HUD with the use of a switch. I've tried quite some combinations and asked a friend to help me a bit, but I guess it takes more then a little;
Code: 
if $game_switches[14] == true
script here
else
end

2.
The script I'm using for allowing me to start on a map is this one;
Code: 
#==============================================================================
# ** Main
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  After defining each class, actual processing begins here.
#==============================================================================


begin
 $data_actors        = load_data("Data/Actors.rxdata")
    $data_classes       = load_data("Data/Classes.rxdata")
    $data_skills        = load_data("Data/Skills.rxdata")
    $data_items         = load_data("Data/Items.rxdata")
    $data_weapons       = load_data("Data/Weapons.rxdata")
    $data_armors        = load_data("Data/Armors.rxdata")
    $data_enemies       = load_data("Data/Enemies.rxdata")
    $data_troops        = load_data("Data/Troops.rxdata")
    $data_states        = load_data("Data/States.rxdata")
    $data_animations    = load_data("Data/Animations.rxdata")
    $data_tilesets      = load_data("Data/Tilesets.rxdata")
    $data_common_events = load_data("Data/CommonEvents.rxdata")
    $data_system        = load_data("Data/System.rxdata")
    $game_temp          = Game_Temp.new
    $game_system        = Game_System.new
    $game_switches      = Game_Switches.new
    $game_variables     = Game_Variables.new
    $game_self_switches = Game_SelfSwitches.new
    $game_screen        = Game_Screen.new
    $game_actors        = Game_Actors.new
    $game_party         = Game_Party.new
    $game_troop         = Game_Troop.new
    $game_map           = Game_Map.new
    $game_player        = Game_Player.new
    $game_party.setup_starting_members
    $game_map.setup($data_system.start_map_id)
    $game_player.moveto($data_system.start_x, $data_system.start_y)
    $game_player.refresh
    $game_map.autoplay
    $game_map.update
    $scene = Scene_Map.new
  Graphics.freeze
  while $scene != nil
    $scene.main
  end
  Graphics.transition(20)
rescue Errno::ENOENT
  filename = $!.message.sub("No such file or directory - ", "")
  print("File #{filename} not found.")
end
On the starting map I'm using events to make an animated title screen. I sorta duplicated the New Game, Load Game and Quit, but whenever I press on Load Game I get an error (NoMethodError). I can call the Load Game scene, that's no problem. When I press Load Game I get to the loading screen, but when I press on Esc I want to have a switch to turn on. But this switch doesn't seem to get turned on at all. When I press on f9 to see if it did turn on (which it probably didn't, but anyway), I get an error; "Critical Error C0000005 at adress 00D27612". I just can't seem to get my finger on what's happening, the last time I had this I forgot to add a spriteset.dispose...

1. Basically add your switch inside the refresh block. So the code would be as follows:
Code: 
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Refresh
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def refresh
  if $game_switches[14]
    self.contents.clear
    @old_hp = @actor.hp
    @old_sp = @actor.sp
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("HUD1")
    self.contents.blt(-20, -10, bitmap, Rect.new(-20, -10, bitmap.width, bitmap.height))
    draw_bar(60, 17, @actor.hp, @actor.maxhp, 135, 8, Color.new(150, 0, 0, 255), Color.new(255, 0, 0, 255))
    draw_bar(60, 33, @actor.sp, @actor.maxsp, 135, 8, Color.new(0, 0, 150, 255), Color.new(0, 0, 255, 255))
    self.contents.font.size = 18
    self.contents.font.italic = true
    self.contents.font.color = Color.new(0, 0, 0)
    self.contents.draw_text(48, -10, 150, 32, "#{@actor.name} Lvl #{@actor.level}") 
    self.contents.font.color = Color.new(255, 255, 255)
    self.contents.draw_text(50, -12, 150, 32, "#{@actor.name} Lvl #{@actor.level}")
    self.contents.font.color = Color.new(0, 0, 0)
    self.contents.draw_text(130, 11, 150, 32, "#{@actor.hp}/#{@actor.maxhp}")
    self.contents.draw_text(132, 11, 150, 32, "#{@actor.hp}/#{@actor.maxhp}")
    self.contents.draw_text(130, 9, 150, 32, "#{@actor.hp}/#{@actor.maxhp}")
    self.contents.draw_text(132, 9, 150, 32, "#{@actor.hp}/#{@actor.maxhp}")
    self.contents.draw_text(130, 27, 150, 32, "#{@actor.sp}/#{@actor.maxsp}")
    self.contents.draw_text(132, 27, 150, 32, "#{@actor.sp}/#{@actor.maxsp}")
    self.contents.draw_text(130, 25, 150, 32, "#{@actor.sp}/#{@actor.maxsp}")
    self.contents.draw_text(132, 25, 150, 32, "#{@actor.sp}/#{@actor.maxsp}")
    self.contents.font.color = @actor.hp <= @actor.maxhp / 4 ? crisis_color : 
    @actor.hp == 0 ? knockout_color : normal_color
    self.contents.draw_text(131, 10, 150, 32, "#{@actor.hp}/#{@actor.maxhp}")
    self.contents.font.color = @actor.sp == 0 ? crisis_color : normal_color
    self.contents.draw_text(131, 26, 150, 32, "#{@actor.sp}/#{@actor.maxsp}")
  end
end

2. Do I get to see your load script where this switch is supposed to be turned ON? Currently the details given won't lead me to a solution for this problem.

Apologies, I thought that would've been enough. I'll go into it on more detail.
When you start the game you will get a screen with some pictures (which move and such, bla bla bla). The most important event there is this common event:

http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/9758 ... ently4.png[/img]
This common event basically tells what you do when you press Enter (once your cursor is at the wanted screen)
once I press on Load Game (which is MenuLocatie == 2) I let that happen. I basically delete some pictures (which make up the pictures for New Game, Load Game, Quit and the cursor) and call for scene_load.

Once I press on Esc (to go back to the scene) I need a switch to be turned off (switch 15 to be exact). This way the menu will come back again so you can select something else. So, without that switch the menu will not come back (if I press Enter now I will get that Critical Error).

My Scene_Load is the standard one, with the exceptions of a few extremely minor changes.
Code: 
#==============================================================================
# ** Scene_Load
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class performs load screen processing.
#==============================================================================

class Scene_Load < Scene_File
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Object Initialization
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize
    # Remake temporary object
    $game_temp = Game_Temp.new
    # Timestamp selects new file
    $game_temp.last_file_index = 0
    latest_time = Time.at(0)
    for i in 0..3
      filename = make_filename(i)
      if FileTest.exist?(filename)
        file = File.open(filename, "r")
        if file.mtime > latest_time
          latest_time = file.mtime
          $game_temp.last_file_index = i
        end
        file.close
      end
    end
    super("Which file would you like to load?")
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Decision Processing
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def on_decision(filename)
    # If file doesn't exist
    unless FileTest.exist?(filename)
      # Play buzzer SE
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
      return
    end
    # Play load SE
    $game_system.se_play($data_system.load_se)
    # Read save data
    file = File.open(filename, "rb")
    read_save_data(file)
    file.close
    # Restore BGM and BGS
    $game_system.bgm_play($game_system.playing_bgm)
    $game_system.bgs_play($game_system.playing_bgs)
    # Update map (run parallel process event)
    $game_map.update
    # Switch to map screen
    $scene = Scene_Map.new
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Cancel Processing
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def on_cancel
    # Play cancel SE
    $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
    # Switch to title screen
    scene = Scene_Map.new
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Read Save Data
  #     file : file object for reading (opened)
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def read_save_data(file)
    # Read character data for drawing save file
    characters = Marshal.load(file)
    # Read frame count for measuring play time
    Graphics.frame_count = Marshal.load(file)
    # Read each type of game object
    $game_system        = Marshal.load(file)
    $game_switches      = Marshal.load(file)
    $game_variables     = Marshal.load(file)
    $game_self_switches = Marshal.load(file)
    $game_screen        = Marshal.load(file)
    $game_actors        = Marshal.load(file)
    $game_party         = Marshal.load(file)
    $game_troop         = Marshal.load(file)
    $game_map           = Marshal.load(file)
    $game_player        = Marshal.load(file)
    # If magic number is different from when saving
    # (if editing was added with editor)
    if $game_system.magic_number != $data_system.magic_number
      # Load map
      $game_map.setup($game_map.map_id)
      $game_player.center($game_player.x, $game_player.y)
    end
    # Refresh party members
    $game_party.refresh
  end
end

P.S. thanks a bunch for the first one, it works perfectly now *writes down a note for future reference*

I suppose what you're trying to do is to turn switch 15 ON when leaving Scene_Load? If I got that correctly, all you have to do, is replace the on_cancel block, into this:
Code: 
  def on_cancel
    $game_switches[15] = true
    # Play cancel SE
    $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
    # Switch to title screen
    $scene = Scene_Map.new # or whatever scene you want here
  end
If I understood that wrong, then I might have serious problems understanding what you are pointing out.

Hope this helps.
