Need help editing a small part of Yanfly's Ace Battle Engine

[C.W. Plainview]

Script: https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/ace-battle-engine/

I'm looking to disable the state icon displays under enemy names when they are inflicted with a status ailment/buff. The reason is because I'm using a script that displays state icons over the enemy, and so the state icons displayed under the enemy name while targeting them is redundant.

I found this portion of the script that I believe handles this:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # refresh_battler_name #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def refresh_battler_name(battler) contents.clear reset_font_settings change_color(normal_color) @text = battler_name(battler) icons = battler.state_icons + battler.buff_icons dy = icons.size <= 0 ? line_height / 2 : 0 draw_text(0, dy, contents.width, line_height, @text, 1) dx = (contents.width - (icons.size * 24)) / 2 draw_actor_icons(battler, dx, line_height, contents.width) endI commented out the last line, and it seems to remove the state icons like I want. However, it ends up looking like this:

Spoiler

As you can see, the name is shifted upwards, as if it is still accomodating the state icon which is now invisible. I would like for it to be centered, as if it were just targetting an enemy with no status effects inflicted. I've tried commenting out and editing various parts of the above snippet but to no success.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore information, please ask.

I've moved this thread to RGSSx Script Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.

Try changing this line:

icons = battler.state_icons + battler.buff_iconsto this:

icons = []Also leave the last line commented out.  If icons is empty, it will automatically center the text vertically.

If that method is used to draw your actor details as well, you might find it has some unwanted side effects in other menus.  But if that method is only used in battles and only for enemies, you should be okay.

dy = icons.size <= 0 ? line_height / 2 : 0change to

dy = 36(36 = y position in window, adjust it as you see fit)

@Shaz:

It worked! I figured that line in particular had something to do with it, but didn't know how to edit it properly. Everything I did resulted in crashes. After testing, I can't see any other problems this would cause. Actor states appear just fine. Thanks!
