Scenario Main Values
The following table is a work-in-progress list of the scenario main ($SCENARIO_MAIN) values used by the vanilla game. These values help the game know where you are in the story and what events have (or have not) been triggered. They are also used to determine things that change based on story progression, such as which NPCs spawn in Treasure Town or the dialogue said by the partner if you turn to talk to them in the overworld.
The format used by the game for defining this variable is $SCENARIO_MAIN = scn[1, 0]; where the two numbers in the brackets change depending on story progression.
For scripts that check for specific $SCENARIO_MAIN values using if-statements (such as to determine what partner dialogue should be played at that point in the story), you will usually see the value mentioned in a format like the following, which is taken from one of the partner's overworld dialogue scripts: if ( scn($SCENARIO_MAIN) >= [26, 5] ) . In this example, the game is checking to see if the current $SCENARIO_MAIN value is greater than or equal to [26, 5] and, if that is indeed the case, then the partner's overworld dialogue will be some variation of "We're so close... There's no way we can give up now, [hero]!"
Because some scripts have identical names, the column for the script locations of each $SCENARIO_MAIN value will also include the name of the map folder they are found in. For example, the $SCENARIO_MAIN value that gets triggered following the Project P cutscene can be triggered by four seprate enter scripts that have identical names (enter01.ssb and enter02.ssb, respectively), so the corresponding map folder names are also included to help users know which enter scripts to look for.
