I should've been a little more clear. It does change maps as planned, and after the text finishes it tints back to normal and a mini-scene takes place with one of the main characters on the map. But after the mini-scene is done the hero's party fails to teleport there/there is no moving around at all. So all that's on the screen is the map, and no party. And since the map is slightly larger than the screen I've been able to figure out there is no movement either, hence no party at all.

Getting the party to show is kinda what the problem has been. I jsut need it to teleport in and show right after the mini-scene. Thanks though, I'll try that teleport suggestion and see if it works.
