Questions about Event Scripts

Yeah, within an action queue the commands take on different functions.

So you'll see something like
"Begin action queue for character $04 (8 bytes)"
and then there will be 8 bytes of commands that follow, which do different things than the same hex values when they're NOT in an action queue.

That's why all action queues have a form of parenthesis: they tell the game how long they are going to be in bytes and then they always end with an $FF to resume normal function.

If you're looking to branch outside of an action queue, you will need to check an always-unchanging event bit and do a jump. I use event bit $127 for this, but I know there are at least two more that do so.

EX:

Code:

CA0039: {C0-27-01-08-01-00}   If ($1E80($127) [$1EA4, bit 7] is clear), branch to $ CA0108

This is a typical 'always branch' in the event code.
