[Other] Script Trouble

[DJTiki]

I am having trouble with a script that refuses to keep an overworld sprite hidden, despite setting the flag to 0x200. Here is the compiled version of the script.

Spoiler:

#org 0x80096A

Everything here is fine how it is. Make sure your settings in Advanced Map are correct (NPC ID, etc).

There is one thing here that is redundant, though:

msgbox 0x8800AC5 MSG_NORMAL '"Let's go, get your present!"
[COLOR="Red"]release[/COLOR]
applymovement MOVE_PLAYER 0x8800B31

You don't need 'release' until the very end of your script. It's a command that allows the player to control the in-game player, so you don't need it before 'applymovement 0xFF'.

If you're still having problems, post a screenshot of the NPC's settings in A-map.

Okay thanks :)

EDIT: I went over my Person ID's and as it turns out, it was set to 0000 when the script called for 0001. So it was an easy fix.
