Summary

Hi! I've been searching the internet for the last hour to solve this issue, but with no success. I'm using Yanfly Battle Engine (link: https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/ace-battle-engine/ )    and during a battle, I would like to show the name of the ability used by a character/enemy at the top of the screen in a window (like in the old Final Fantasies). I've joined to this post a bad mockup screen to show you what I'd like to achieve. The battle engine actually uses this window to show the name of the target of a skill....

Hi!

I've been searching the internet for the last hour to solve this issue, but with no success.

I'm using Yanfly Battle Engine (link: https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/ace-battle-engine/ )    and during a battle, I would like to show the name of the ability used by a character/enemy at the top of the screen in a window (like in the old Final Fantasies). I've joined to this post a bad mockup screen to show you what I'd like to achieve. The battle engine actually uses this window to show the name of the target of a skill. I'm pretty sure the name of this window is window_battlehelp.

At the moment, I'm able to show the name of the ability used in the battle log. It's written over a darker area, but not a real window, and to the left of the screen instead of being centered.

I'm getting decent at tweaking scripts, but I lack the knowledge to edit this one in order to achieve what I want.

Thank you in advance!
