Looking for Help on Service Event Script

[Ace of Spades]

I have been creating an original ABS for a game I am creating. For all the projectiles in my game, I have been using a "Service_Event" script. What this script does is it takes an event from one map, and replicates the same event on the current map. I use this to have a single map with all the projectile events that can be generated at will.

Everything has been working perfectly, except for a bug I noticed. Whenever this script generates an event, all of the event graphics on the current map turn back to the default brightness, despite whatever screen tone is being used, and all the events on the map also appear in front of objects that would normally cover them, such as trees. I also noticed all of the event graphics go back to normal whenever you enter and back out of the menu, so I'm hoping this is something that isn't too difficult to fix. If anyone could help I'd be so grateful!
