This is a walkthrough of the procedures in starting the BenduQuest through the Script Event node. Choosing the Script event as opposed to the other events on offer is preferred as it is much more versatile, and less buggy.

*From the Character entry choose SM Event Node and double click on Script Event. Right click and create a new Branch node. It will be stacked by default. This will appear below all other entries. I gave it a name of GSQ01BranchStart.
