Hello!

I've been messing around with Mega Man 6 level editing via MegaFLE X and have hit a bit of a roadblock when it comes to the scrolling mechanics. I understand the basics, such as how the scrolling is controlled by the y-coordinate of sprite ID "80."

I have a list of what the various y-coordinates do and have been able to change a few things. A few examples would be:

y-coordinate 0 scrolls right.

y-coordinate 1 scrolls left and then increments the screen count by 1 if the player climbs down a ladder.

y-coordinate 2 increments the screen count if you climb down and decrements it if you climb up.

In addition to controlling how the screen scrolls, some coordinates are even specified to execute code, change palettes, etc.

What I don't understand, however, is how to change what things happen at existing y-coordinates. I have rock5Easily's notes on this, but they're obviously in Japanese and Google Translate doesn't really help: https://www.himaq5.xyz/rock5easily/6/scroll.html

So basically what I'm asking is if there's anyone here who does understand how to change what happens at existing y-coordinates and/or understands rock5Easily's notes.
