Summary
: Did a bit more testing, if I switch the animated battler graphic to a static one the State Icon is drawn in the correct spot, but the State Overlay stops being drawn all together. Looking through the code I can't see anything that would support this behavior either. Edit #2: SOLVED
Archived First Post
I am using the newest, unmodified version of Yanfly's Animated Sideview Enemies.
When an ability adds a state to an enemy it appear under the enemy graphic.

This is a problem with the Anchor.
Changing the anchor to put the Icon in a correct position moves the Status Overlay, Shadow, Movement, and Skill animations all out of position.
I am looking for the code that sets the X & Y of the State Icon so I can offset it from everything else but i cant seem to find it.
I looked through the code in YEP_X_AnimatedSVEnemies.js and found these 3 functions that govern the State Icon however,
making adjustments to the height for either the Icon or the overlay made no changes in game. Even setting this._stateIconSprite.y = to various numbers didn't change its y position at all.
Line 1412
Yanfly.SVE.Sprite_Enemy_updateStateSprite =
Sprite_Enemy.prototype.updateStateSprite;
Sprite_Enemy.prototype.updateStateSprite = function() {
if (this._enemy && this._enemy.hasSVBattler()) {
this.updateSVStateSprite();
} else {
Yanfly.SVE.Sprite_Enemy_updateStateSprite.call(this);
}
this.updateFloatingStateSprite();
};
Line 1424
Sprite_Enemy.prototype.updateSVStateSprite = function() {
return;
var height = this._enemy.spriteHeight() * -1;
height -= Sprite_StateIcon._iconHeight;
this._stateIconSprite.y = height;
this._stateSprite.y = (this._enemy.spriteHeight() - 64) * -1;
this._stateSprite.visible = this._enemy.enemy().sideviewStateOverlay;
};
Line 1726 - this sets the scale of the icon, so 32x32 I tried to find this ".updateMirror" as I don't know what it does but it only exists as a .call 3-4 times in this one .js, and no others.
Yanfly.SVE.Sprite_StateIcon_updateMirror =
Sprite_StateIcon.prototype.updateMirror;
Sprite_StateIcon.prototype.updateMirror = function() {
this.scale.x = 1 / Math.max(1 / 10000, Math.abs(this.parent.scale.x));
this.scale.y = 1 / Math.max(1 / 10000, Math.abs(this.parent.scale.y));
Yanfly.SVE.Sprite_StateIcon_updateMirror.call(this);
};
Ive always been able to find and modify anything in the game i needed to be it within the base .js files or Plugins. I'm no Java scripter but I have done coding in several other languages and haven't run into a problem like this with java script yet.
This one really has me stumped. I found the code for displaying state Icons in the base rpg_sprite.js but altering that didn't change the position either.
Some Help would be awesome!

Edit #2:
SOLVED
I placed console.log("stuff'); in all the enemy icon functions to trace its draw route and found that the Yanfly plugin doesn't use any of the code for enemy Icons save for a 1 line function at the bottom. Needless to say, I found the Enemy Icon Anchor variables within rpg_sprite.js and made my adjustments, then adjusted Yanfly's Buff & State Counter to match.
