Field RAM question - funkydiscogod - 08-21-2016
When adding characters to the party, I wanted to be able to have them in the start off in the back row. Last night I was attempting to make a new event code that would simply switch the character's rows.
In the Field RAM page of the Wiki, there is this:
Code:
$0867-$1068 Object Data (50 items, 41 bytes each, $00-$0F are characters, $10-$2F are NPC's, $30 is camera ($07B0), $31 is showing character or for unused objects ($07D9))
-----------
$0867 verbbppp Object Settings
v: Visible
e: Enabled (active)
r: Battle Row (back row if set) \
b: Battle Order |--> characters only, though $1850 is "master" data
p: Party /It took me all night to figure out that changing row in $1850 has no effect. But, changing row in the $0867 block does.
It seems like the $0867 is the "master" data.
Where did this claim of "master" data come from?

I'm not sure if I understand your question but $0867 is a RAM address, while $1850 is a SRAM address (SRAM is part of RAM). SRAM data is your save game data, meaning the "live" data is $0867 that is stored in $1850 prior or upon game saving. When you load a game, $1850 will be used to apply row or / and it will be transferred into $0867 that will do its job.
Edit: SRAM block is $1600 to $1FFF.

Now, I see what it meant by "master".
Every time the game went into the menu, it copied the value of $0867 to $1850.
I was confused on why the "master" was doing nothing. I get it now.

You also might not need a custom event for this. You can probably just tack this on to the "Set Properties ID" code or another portion of the character setup...
Edit: to clarify, you probably don't need a whole new event command, rather, just add the new code to an existing event command.
