Change the position of your Pokémon in battle?

[Peeky Chew]

Really nooby question, but in the new version of essentials I just don't seem to be able to find where I change the coordinates for the player's Pokémon in the ActualScene script.

That's because I thought, you should use the PBS file... But don't quote me on that

This has been asked before. The answer is still the same: in many places.

A Pokémon's sprite in battle is an instances of the class PokemonBattlerSprite. Find what those instances are called, and have a look for code which defines/modifies their x and y coordinates. For y-coordinates, have a gander at the top of the script section PokemonSprite (that's the simple one; x is in several places depending on the kind of battle).

That's the problem I had. I found that part and edited it, but it didn't do anything.

@Maruno: I found that part and edited every y value one by one. None of them did anything. It just doesn't make sense.
