RMMV Set text window position via variable

[MerchantLegends]

I have plugins installed, such as Yanfly Message Core (MV), which allows setting the window position of the "Show Text" event command via a text code, such as:

\px[]
\py[]

for X and Y positions.

This works great, but I want to set the position of the text window via a variable.
Of course, the following doesn't work in text codes:

\px[\v[19]]

nor does:

\px[$gameVariables.value(40)]

for obvious reasons.
Does anyone know how I can set the position of my "Show Text" command using a script or plugin command?

I'd ideally want to avoid installing any bulky plugins, as Yanfly does 99% of what I need already.
Any ideas? I've spent a good amount of time googling, but can't find anything helpful.

Im sorry i could and probably am wrong since i only recently began to look further into scripting (JS to be precise) but could it be that this is the one:
$gameVariables.setValue(id)
since this one sets it, the other one asks for it... im sure im wrong but well, it doesnt hurt to try it out. ^^

I'm not trying to set a variable... I'm trying to define the position of a text window.

$gameVariables.setValue(id)

is the code for setting the value of a variable.

Thanks for trying though!

Oh ok, sry my mistake, thought you want to set it but now i got it, i mean i know what you want but still dont know the answer, maybe one of those help: $game_variables(x) or $gameVariables(x)
"im sure they are wrong as well tho. "

And i wont pull on straws any further, since this goes way over my head, im sure someone will know the right answer.

Thanks for trying Spaske.

Hoping someone has an answer?

I haven't tested, but are you certain the \px[\v[19]] thing does not work? I believe it should work, because \v[x] is replaced before the message starts, and \px[__] is replaced mid-message.

 

[MerchantLegends]

Ah it does work ! Weird! I think the reason it wasn't working before was because those codes only seem to take effect if you add "MessageRows 18" so the window is bigger...

Thanks for making me check this again!

(This is solved)
