[Script] Help with a 99% working script

Been working on this script for a while now and it's so close to working. It compiles just fine and everything works as intended except for the fact that the applymovement command labelled @mv5 won't trigger no matter what I do. I'd really appreciate some help or guidance with this one, been stuck with this issue for way too long.

Are you sure the 0x1 corresponds with the person event number 0x1 (and not the number above it) in AdvanceMap? That's the only thing I can think of right now.

OW 0x1 is probably too far way to be loaded by the game when the script reaches @mv5. You're moving the camera/ that OW over some pretty huge distances so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. As a test, try moving the OW down by two or three tiles in A-Map and play the script. If @mv5 is triggered correctly, you've got your reason as to why its not working right now. If that doesn't work then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you so much for this. I didn't know moving the camera so far away could compromise applymovement commands by making the sprites in question too far away on the map. Regardless, with that knowledge I was able to pretty easily fix the problems with the script. Thanks a heap!

While I've got ya here, just had a bit of a random question, all good if you don't have an answer :). I'm pretty keen to expand the battle background table in Emerald, I know where it is and am pretty confident that I won't have any problems moving it to free space and fixing up the pointers. The only thing concerning me is how I'm going to get A-map to recognize the expanded slots in the table if that makes sense. So I was just wondering if you knew how that would work and if there was anything else I missed that might be necessary throughout the process.

Do you mean having a specific battleground appear depending on the tile you're standing on/ map you're in, etc?
