My friends and I are working on a birthday gift mod for a friend, and we plan on adding more hearts events to his favourite characters (Alex in particular). As such we were planning a 14 hearts event like Elliott's, where he would go to town to play professionally and afterwards return, giving a custom item (like a trophy or something alike). We checked a bunch of in-game files and we found this:
C++:

However, we're not sure of how to make the whole "spouse goes away for a week" thing. We can quite understand the preconditions, but not the way to make the character not appear during the time they're "away". We're quite new on this, and it's the first time we do modding on Stardew Valley, so we're not very aware of how things work.
Thank you all in advance

Hello,

I'd suggest you try the "Making Mods" channel on the Stardew Valley Discord. There are a lot of knowledgeable people over there that could certainly assist you.

Elliott being away is handled by setting him to invisible with the scheduling code. You may be able to get away with using the event end option that sets an npc invisible and having it fire off in the farmhouse, I guess.
