[Resolved] Repostioning The Target Cursor In Battle

[Lucky 7]

What I want to do is have the cursor that appears in battle when you are selecting a enemy to attack/use skill on/etc. be focused on the of the battler center instead of near the bottom. Like in the screen shot at the bottom.

(NOTE: I couldn't find a topic that covers this, but sorry if there is one.
Second of all, I know this is a noobish question, but scripting is the one thing I have like zero knowledge on.)

There are two things you can do:
1) Go to Arrow_Base in the script editor. You'll find this line somewhere in the beginning: self.ox = 16
Add just next to it: self.oy = 96
This moves the cursor up by 96 pixels in battles, whether the cursor is on the enemy or the actor.
2) Go to Arrow_Enemy and find this line: self.y = self.enemy.screen_y
change it to: self.y = self.enemy.screen_y - 96
This does the same thing the first method does, but only when the cursor in on the enemy. You can do the same thing for the actor if you want in Arrow_Actor.
Hope this helps

It doesn't work. I forgot to mention this in my first post but could the reason it doesn't work because of other scripts I'm using? I am using Cogwheel's ATB System, Damage Display, and Menu Bars along with Ccoa's UMS.

I'm not much into scripting, but I'm suspecting Cogwheel's ATB System. Search for "Arrow_" in all the other scripts you're using. If you find something, search nearby for the lines of code I asked you to change. If you spot them, change them and give it a shot. If you don't find them, I guess I can't be of any more help.

I dit that for my FFVI SDK.

Ah! Nice! I've wanted to do this for a while!

Thanks, guys. I finally got it to work with Gtmrpg6's stratgey.
