How use?
Just paste the code below Scene_Battle (or SDK) and before Main, then change the id of the switch in the first lines of the script
Before the battle start, it turn on the switch "Battle_Switch" and allow the call of events.
To call an event or common event before the battle set them to start if the switch "Battle_Switch" is on.
And don't forget set the switch off when your events finish.
