Re: Top down game
You're basically asking as about most of the game. It's your project not ours, but we can help you with it. For the menu and pickups, try to use the broadcast command. For example...
when [startButton] clicked broadcast [startGame v]Then...
when i receive [startGame v] Game script here

Re: Top down game
Use the hide command on each player.
EG-
Player a is chosen
Player A -
when i receive [playerA chosen v] show game script herePlayer B,C and D
when i receive [playerA chosen v] hide

Re: Top down game
Lol, this would be as far as I'd go with explaining. Menus and character selections are simple. Enemy AI is a little more complicated. 
I'll see if I can come up with one (though someone will probably beat me to it)
