Introduction

Normally in RPG Maker MV, leaving a map and returning to it will reset the
map positions of all the events. For certain types of maps, such as puzzles,
you would want the map to retain their locations.

Notetags

RPG Maker MV's editor is unable to allow for custom traits/properties that a game dev may wish to associate with a database object, event, map, etc. Notetags are used to work around such limitations by allowing the game dev to tag certain traits/properties using specific Notetags declared by the related plugin.

Here is a list of Notetag(s) that you may use.

---

Map Notetag:
  <Save Event Locations>
  This will cause the map to save every event's location on that map. After
  leaving and returning to that map, the events will be reloaded onto their
  last saved positions in addition to the direction they were facing.

Event Notetag:
  <Save Event Location>
  This will enable this specific event to save its location on this map.
  After leaving and returning to the map, the event will be reloaded onto
  its last saved position in addition to the direction it was facing.

If you wish to reset the position of the Event, simply use the Event Editor
and use "Set Event Location" to anchor the event's location to the desired
point as if you would normally.
