Hello everyone!

This is more of an annoyance then anything else. I want to know if there's a way to move the choices box on the screen. I have a couple instances where the choice box appears in a annoying, in the way spot. (See the picture in the spoiler for what I mean.) I would like to move it down if possible. Any suggestions on how to fix this for VX Ace?

Thanks!

Sorry Shaz, I should have know that this would be a script issue.

SoulPour777, I'm guessing it's this line I need to adjust to move the choice box?

def initialize
message_choice_initialize
@choice_width = 320
@choice_height = 20
@mb_y_pos = 30
@mb_x_pos = 0
@choice_window_width = Graphics.width - @choice_width
end
I'm also getting a error message when it tries to open a choice box now.

if you want to change the vertical position of your choice box, use:

$game_system.change_y_pos(y_pos)for example:

$game_system.change_y_pos(12)You should not directly change it in the script. Same goes with the horizontal position of the choice box.

I'm sorry, but I'm very noobish when it comes to this.

When I searched your script, the only line I found with $game_system.change_y_pos(y_pos) is line 14 but it has a # in front of it, so I thought means it's just a note and doesn't effect the script. (Or maybe I don't understand it correctly.) I still changing it to 12 like you showed, but I'm still getting that error message.

That IS a comment. The line that actually does it is the one with def change_y_position(...)

The comment you saw is part of the documentation explaining how the script is used :)

Hi xcom, that is a comment, a part of a documentation I made how to use the script. To not get confused, here's a simple demo that uses the script to get you a headstart:

Have a nice day ahead.

Oh you mean I had to put it in the event itself like you did in your example game! I was thinking I had to edit the script itself to do it.

I'm still getting that line 107 error message though when I try to talk to that character.

I tried moving it around in the load order and I still get it no matter where I place it.

I'm using the following and in this order:

Victor Scripts - Basic 1.21

Victor Scripts - Animated Battle 1.21

Victor Scripts - Animation Settings 1.03

Victor Scripts - Actors Battlers 1.09

Zeus Lights & Shadows 1.3

Are you playing a new game, or did you load a save file? If the latter, try starting a new game, to make sure everything is initialized properly.

Show a screenshot of your event.

Ug, why didn't I think of that.

Yes I was trying it out from a saved game. As soon as I started a fresh game it worked just fine. I had the exact same problem when I was trying to get Victor's scripts to work. I set it all up, and kept getting a error message. As soon as I tried from a fresh game, it worked fine.

Thanks for helping this idiot out. Now I just have to mess with the x/y pos to get it to where I like.

Thanks again!
