[FE8] Beginning Event Running Twice

Questions
1

It may or may not be strictly FE8 related, but I’m using FE8 so that’s how I’m tagging it.

I’m having a kinda weird and pretty frustrating issue, that being the beginning events running twice for some unknown reason. I changed where the event offset was because FEditor kept breaking it when I put unit portraits in, making the events not run at all, and then trying to reassemble the events made the events run but made the mug bug out and not be good either.

So I moved it further ahead, and now I have this event running twice problem, and I’m not sure what’s causing it to loop back. Any ideas on why this is happening?

As with any events related problem, it helps to post the events that are causing the problem.

Whoops forgot, sorry

Delete this. The BeginningScene is hardcoded to play automatically, so you’re just repeating it with this.

I feel stupid, but also haven’t slept due to finals, thanks for pointing that one out!
