Hello, I was wondering how to get a control on character position in battle. I think it will be interested if utilized with YEP_AreaofEffect plugin. For example: Boss A want to use Laser AoE skill, the character can choose to stay on the platform.

Hello,
I was wondering how to get a control on character position in battle. I think it will be interested if utilized with YEP_AreaofEffect plugin.
For example:

Boss A want to use Laser AoE skill, the character can choose to stay on the platform.
After player A use skill to move behind the enemy, player A & B can perform Duo attack.
Moving character B to the magic circle will give him a magic boost.
From Final Fantasy X Trigger Command, when the enemy moves to the back of the platform, the party can use Pincer Attack.
Geomancer in Final Fantasy Tactics which can use a certain skill based on his position.

Here comes the problem, YEP_BattleEngineCore only allows customization of the character position before the battle start, and there are no ways to move the character permanently either by RMMV settings. CMIIW

Conclusion, is there a way to do this? Either by using plugin or Script section in RMMV.
I have tried searching for it, maybe I miss the keyword and found nothing about it.

Thank you!
