[FE7][EVENT]Game freezes after Opening event

Questions
1

I have a little issue with my newest chapter. The game plays the opening event as it should, no problems here, but right after the scenes finishes, the game kinda freezes. There is no black screen or so, the game plays the player phase music and the map animations like flowing water and the map sprite are playing as well. But that it. The cursor doesn’t appear and I can’t move the cam. I’m not quite sure if it happened because of a bad event since I already tried to just to load the player’s unit and the same thing occurred. Otherwise I don’t know what it could else be, the map I inserted displays right and the turn music plays fine as well.

Your first few LOU1s are missing ENUNs immediately afterwards, which should be the case most of the time.

I’ve tried that already (It was my first guess as well) but it still occurs.

4

Have you tried removing the ENUNs that appear elsewhere? I see ENUNs after camera moves, REMAs, etc.
Maybe the game softlocks because it’s waiting for units that won’t ever appear.

5

Nope, that isn’t working as well.

6

you need to put ENUNs there anyway, please fix that

I’m able to get these events working using the vanilla prologue map. All I needed to change was unit coordinates so that they were in-bounds. If you’re not having a bounds issue, I’m really not sure, then…

I’ve had this problem before. ENUNs can do things like this, but if you’ve tried with and without them, I would check two things:
Are the map sprites of the units you’re trying to load correct? If something is wrong, they may not load, and the game could freeze.
Are your loading coordinates a place where your unit can move? i.e. don’t load mercenaries on mountains and tell it to move through the mountain to its starting position.

The thing is that the events actually worked on a different chapter. I’ve copied everything from map to events to a different chapter slot and everything works great now.

Huh. Just keep it there and you’ll be fine.
