I know this place isn't the support for it, but I would only get snotty responses from the inferior moderation if I stuck with that. (lol)
So,
You know how whenever you show a message in battle, it appears at the bottom of the screen, well I want it to have it at the top. How exactly do I do that? I assume I would have to modify it somewhere in the script to the X and Y coords in the script, but me and my novice scripting powers cannot find where.
Perhaps posting the script and such so we can see it?
Also, have you tried changing the Message to 'Top' from 'Bottom' in the actual Message Editor?

Battle messages, like "Ralph deals X damage!" or whatever, defaults to the bottom of the screen. That's not a "Message" call from the Event Editor in the slightest. From what I'm getting, Adon wants to make it so battle message windows like that appear at the top of the screen.

I assume I would have to modify it somewhere in the script to the X and Y coords in the script, but me and my novice scripting powers cannot find where.

I remember looking at various combat engines for potential use in Arbiters From Another World, and I was just plain lost with what I needed to change, and where. I guess we both loose?

But for the Battle messages; they can be made in the Database in the Troops tab, and they use the Message Window.

Anyway, if you're having that problem, simply copy the Window_BattleMessage into any script slot under the battle scripts and paste this:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Set Window Background and Position
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def reset_window
@background = $game_message.background
@position = $game_message.position
if @background == 0 # Normal window
self.opacity = 255
else # Dim Background and Make it Transparent
self.opacity = 0
end
case @position
when 0 # Top
self.y = 0
when 1 # Middle
self.y = 144
when 2 # Bottom
self.y = 288
end
end

Where it says Set Window Background and Position (Disabled)

For the whole script:
