[Scripting Question] Double Battle Sprite Positions

[B+]

Hi,

I'm in need of spacing out the sprite positions of Pokemon in double battles. I've been looking in PokeBattle_SceneElements > Pokemon sprite, but nothing stands out to me as the obvious script for double battles. Where should I be looking?

Look inside PokeBattle_SceneElements under the function "def self.pbBattlerPosition(index,sideSize=1)". This is the section that handles double battles:

case sideSize
    when 2
      ret[0] += [-48, 48, 32, -32][index]
      ret[1] += [  0,  0, 16, -16][index]

The first row of values are x-offsets, and the second are y-offsets, so each column is a set of offsets for a specific battler. The order of battlers is as follows:

Player's left battler, foe's right battler, player's right battler, foe's left battler

For example, the foe's right battler has +48 added to its x-position and 0 added to its y-position (the second column). You want to space out the battlers, so maybe you could try making the 48 a bit higher, like 54 or so. In general, give the right-side battlers a slightly higher x-offset and the left-side battlers a slightly lower x-offset (since those are negative). You could try this out as an example (adding/subtracting 6 to the appropriate x-offsets):

case sideSize
    when 2
      ret[0] += [-54, 54, 38, -38][index]
      ret[1] += [  0,  0, 16, -16][index]

You've been a big help. Thank you for the knowledge.
