Cutscene maps?

Hello! I am making a somewhat story-driven game (as far as there IS a story) and was curious about cutscenes. Usually in RPG Maker (MV!) I make a cutscene by adding an extra map with all of the eventing I need to have, and seamlessly transitioning between the cutscene and the actual game map. I was just curious if that would be allowed, since there's still only one map that play takes place on, or if I would need to find another way of conveying my story. Thanks!

This is the challenge of the current game jam.  I use mainly RPG Maker too.  Most people make cut scenes, by having them on different maps than the 'game play' section.  With this one map challenge, if a cut scene is desired, then it has to occur on the same map as the game play.  This will take creativity.  Please do not make a larger map, and then have 'void' spaces between gameplay map and cut scene maps.  Some have made a single map that have gad over ten maps on them, separated by void spaces, so that each map cannot be seen when playing on a different map.  When there are multiple maps on a single map, then it is still more than one map.  Have fun figuring out this challenge.
