Question about Message Window position Topic

Hello, hi!

I've got a fairly specific question, so bear with me.

Is there a place in the Script Editor that defines the Bottom, Middle, and Top screen positions for the message window? I'm using Show Picture to put a border around the screen, which causes any messages set to Top or Bottom to overlap with the border.

Once I'm pointed in the right place, I could probably write the script myself. However, if it requires a script call, I may need a little help...

If you need anything clarified, just ask.
Thanks for reading!

My initial thought was that it was in the function that is called with the Show Text event-command.

class Game_Interpreter
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Show Text
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def command_101
    wait_for_message
    $game_message.face_name = @params[0]
    $game_message.face_index = @params[1]
    $game_message.background = @params[2]
    $game_message.position = @params[3]
    while next_event_code == 401       # Text data
      @index += 1
      $game_message.add(@list[@index].parameters[0])
    end
    case next_event_code
    when 102  # Show Choices
      @index += 1
      setup_choices(@list[@index].parameters)
    when 103  # Input Number
      @index += 1
      setup_num_input(@list[@index].parameters)
    when 104  # Select Item
      @index += 1
      setup_item_choice(@list[@index].parameters)
    end
    wait_for_message
  end
end

But, I suppose $game_message.position makes sense. Except that the "position" property is never mentioned anywhere in the Game_Message class? Hrm.

*Edit: I must confess, I'm not really sure where to look either. However, I firmly believe that $game_message.position is the value that's being checked against, and that there's a function somewhere (even if it's hidden), that determines the y coordinate of game-messages.

Edit: After a few days of digging around on Google, (literal days) I was able to find a script that does exactly what I'm looking for!

For anyone stuck in the same position I was in, I suggest you give this a read!

I suppose this thread can be closed, now.
Thanks!
