Reply to Scripting help

So, I'm making my first D-Mod for the Silent Protagonist contest, and a couple of my scripts are not acting as I think they should. I was wondering if people could help with why they might not be working.
My first script contains the following (doctored for after story hits 10)
However, during my play-throughs, &wid never appears. The script "T1-B2.c" worked fine when he was just placed on the map, so I know the problem is somewhere here.
My other major problem involves a trader. Part of the script is supposed to checks if you don't have a particular item, that you have enough gold for it, and that your inventory is not full. While the third one is impossible without cheating, I've still built in for it for use in future D-Mods. However, when trying to buy an item, it triggers on this even with an empty inventory. Here's the code for an edited throwing axe item (I set the cost to one for testing purposes.)
If anyone can see any errors in these, the help would be most appreciated. There are other errors in my code, but they are minor ones, with only aesthetic consequences, so these are the ones I need to fix before release.

void main( void )
{

{
&wid = create_sprite(364, 218, 16, 411, 1);
sp_speed(&wid, 1);
sp_base_walk(&wid, 410);
sp_script(&wid, "T1-B2.c");
}
