So I can't summerize this in the title but basically what I want to know is if its possible to halt one event's processing while another runs on a different map then pick up where it left off after the other event transfers back to that map?

I know this is possible with self-switches and all that but is there a way to do this without having to force the event to switch to a new page?

In case I am being confusing, let me copy and paste from my event page:
Code:
◆Fadeout Screen
◆Text:None, Transparent, Middle
:    :Preperations have been made and the only thing left
:    :to do is to prepare for the greatest undertaking that
:    :Equestria had ever seen...

    :    :to chance. Send the troops if you want but

The issue I encountered was that the previous event continued to run ignoring the one on the new map which makes this hard to work with since I'm guessing a recent update patched something in the event reading code or something since before today(granted I haven't been working on my game in months but still) it would transfer to that map, run the autorun event, then transfer back and continue to run this one.

Don't forget, aspiring writers: Personality isn't what your characters do, it is WHY they do it.
Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!
The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?

How is it going? :D
