Summary

Hi all! I'm in the process of adapting Yanfly Steal Item to work with my SBS of choice (Enu's Tankentai). The skills work properly (or at least seem to so far) but the message window that displays when the player successfully steals isn't quite as I'd like it. I've managed to fix most of the issues by using the advice I found here but I'd also like to move and resize the window to the top of the screen.

Hi all!

Positioning it seems to be as simple as adding the line


$game_message.position = 0


above the message display stuff that starts at line 1015. Doing so gets me to here:

So my question now is, how do I resize the message window so that it's only one line high? I experimented with calling and changing the line number variable feature in Yanfly's Ace Message System and resetting it after the message displays. While that works, but it's not very elegant and I'm sure there must be a way to crop the window without calling up another script in the process. So, can anyone provide guidance as to how to do this?.


Thanks in advance!
