I noticed that the status window changes to the current character from one character to the next, Is there a way to make a global one and have all your characters sending stats to that one? this would be great for multiplaying to keep track of all the characters.

The status window is defined in each character's individual setting, so you can't have a global status window. You can, however, use global variables and then give the same definition to each status window using these global variables.

I see, so this is what i want to do:

have the status window show
name1 name 2 name3
hp: hp: hp:
M: M:
Mv: Mv: Mv:
Wt: Wt:

I am currently looking through the scripts and help files to see if i can find something on this, but if anyone knows how and would like to share i would appreciate it. Thanks Kjata,seems i still got to do more research.

Take a look at the #GVAR command. Just use normal triggers in each character to catch the values, but instead of using #VAR to save the values to normal variables, you use #GVAR to save it to a global variable. You then define the status window using these variables just as if they were normal variables (@varName).

Ok thanks i got the #gvar to work really well but what do you think i could do about keeping them alligned? So that
name----name----name
mv------mv------mv with out the (-)
will stay in ther place? i am tring to use the split status script that was posted but I have had no luck with that so i gave been writing my own and will post it as soon as i am done.
