Battle Event: Locke and the Merchant/Officer

You've made great progress in the sense that you are learning more and more each time you put in work! I know what you mean though. Backtracking is never fun after investing time into getting something done, just to realize it was more or less not needed in the first place. Or actually, when the damn game doesn't agree with something as simple as any sprite being able to change into the merchant sprite for that battle event! But those ones are really tricky how they're coded, so I'm not surprised.
