Event Objects
Object Events
-------------
Event objects are typically used for NPCs (non-player-characters). More technically, it's any event that has a sprite and the ability to move around. Event objects are displayed using their assigned sprite, except for special cases. Any event object that uses a dynamic sprite will be displayed as a blue square with an `N` |dynamic-sprite|. Some examples of dynamic sprites are the player's rival and berry trees.

Event warps are how the player is able to warp to other maps, such as entering a building. Double-clicking on a warp will automatically open the destination map and select the destination warp. This makes it very easy to navigate around in Porymap.

Event Triggers
Trigger Events
--------------
Event triggers are scripts that execute when the player walks over them. However, they only execute when a variable is equal some value. Typically, they execute once, set the variable's value to something else, and then never execute again because the variable's value no longer matches.

@@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ About Porymap
**Porymap is a cross-platform map editor for the Gen 3 pret decompilation projects. Its primary functions are to allow editing map tiles, collision, events, connections, and properties. Porymap provides additional functionality, such as tileset editing and region map editing. Downloadable releases are available for Windows and Mac, and Linux users can build it from source.**
Those familiar with traditional Gen 3 binary ROM hacking can think of it as the Advance Map equivalent for the decompilation projects. Porymap supports the same features as Advance Map, except for Wild Pokemon editing, so Advance Map users shouldn't have much difficulty learning how to use Porymap. There are many usability improvements in Porymap. The most notable is undo/redo when painting map tiles.

The most notable is undo/redo when painting map tiles.
Porymap reads and writes files in the decompilation projects. It **does not** read or write ROM files. **Therefore, it is highly recommended to use Git for version control when working with Porymap.**
