(Resolved) Activating an event through a script

I'm having a bit of a problem with a script I'm working on. I'm trying to make it so that a specific switch is turned on when a selection is made from a custom menu script, thereby activating an event on the current map. The problem is that the event does not start until you leave the current map, and come back to it.

Here's the script lines used:

Spoiler for:

   if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      case @command_window.index
        when 0 # City upgrades
          if $game_variables[3] < $game_variables[43] and $game_variables[4] < $game_variables[44]
            $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
          end
          if $game_variables[3] >= $game_variables[43] and $game_variables[4] >= $game_variables[44]
            $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
            $game_variables[5] = ($game_variables[5] + 1 )
            $game_variables[3] = ($game_variables[3] - $game_variables[43])
            $game_variables[4] = ($game_variables[4] - $game_variables[44])
            $game_switches[11] = true
            $scene = Scene_Map.new
          end

And here's the event page that is supposed to activate:

As I said, the event doesn't start unless you leave the map and return to it, and I can't figure out how to change that.

What are the triggers for that event? Is it parallel process with a switch condition? Is it the last page in the event?

You don't have another page on that event that's run when the switch is off, that erases the event, do you?

I do not. It's the last page of the event. The first page is completely blank.

It's on Auto run with a switch condition, and it's the last page of the event.

DO any of the pages in the event include the "Erase Event" command?

They do not.

If I remember correctly then you need to tell the game_map that it needs to refresh:

Code: [Select]

$game_map.need_refresh = true

Hey, that's what I was going to say next

You guys are awesome!

I figured it had something to do with refreshing the map, I just didn't know the correct code. Thanks!

Worked like a charm!
