Dear fellow makers:

I am currently using Yanfly's Common Event Menu plugin to...eh...set up common event menu for my project.

The plugin is working fine, but there is one problem for my menu that's really bothering me. I been working to sovle this problem for the past few days, and I just found out its beyond my capability.

So I really need some help here.

Above image is a brief introduction for the menu. Basicely when select 'Before select' option, player will be sent to select an item, and then return to the menu, and the option name will be changed to the selected item's name.

Above image is how I set up the menu.

The problem I am having is, when there are multiple options, after select an item and go back to the menu, the little twinkling selection bar is back to the top of the menu.

This will not be a problem if there are only a few options, but in my case, I have some menus that contain 30 options. Then it become quite annoying to have to move the twinkling selection bar up and down everytime, after select an item.

To solve this problem, I want to add a function to the menu so it can remenbers the position of the selection bar. Thus, each time after select an item and go back to the menu, the selection bar will stay at where the previous selected option is, instead of going back to the top of the menu.

The concept I'm currectly working on is as follow:

First of all, I created a variable called 'option position'.

Then I add a content fo control variables to my option's contents page, like above.

Since the postion of all the options are fixed, this will give me an variable that represents the position of the option.

Then, I just have to load the variable and move the selection bar to the represented position each time when after select an item.

But......I don't know how.

I have no idea how to move the selection bar!

Is there anyone knows how, or have a better method?

Please help!
