Thanks for the response - it likely is a conflict with another plugin as I am running a ton of them. I have actually just decided to go through and set some templates to all of my existing choices, as it gives me more flexibility in the long run anyways. If I get around to finding the conflict I will let you know, but this should work for now.

On another note though:

I was previously using your Choice Pictures plugin before upgrading to this, and I was able to set the exact X/Y location on the screen for the pictures using game variables.  Now that I'm using this plugin, I am setting background images for my choices instead of showing pictures (so I can keep them mouse-clickable). This has been great, but the "position" settings for the choice window itself seem to only accept number values to move the choice window relative to a screen origin position (or message window origin). 

I'd like to show the choice box at a position relative to the player sprite on screen. I was doing this with the other plugin by referencing a variable via script call in the X and Y settings, but this seems to not do anything when entering a variable as an X Y value for the choice window position. 

My game has some complicated math for getting the exact player sprite X/Y position on the screen due to some zoom plugins I am using, but the way I was doing it before was to run the math to get the X/Y values into variables, and then I used those variables to set exact X and Y screen locations to show the images for the choices.  I am hoping to do something similar for the choice window position.

Is there something I am missing? I can enter numbers relative to the origin location of the choice window to nudge it around by, say 200 pixels, but entering a game variable seems to just register as 0 (entered as "$gameVariables.value(979) - 150", which is the same as I had set it in the Choice Pictures plugin to get the right screen location to show pictures). 

Thanks!

Hi there!

You should be able to use formulas or game variables to set the choice window position with this plugin too. You can insert them on the Initial/Target Offset X/Y.  Just remember to set the alignment to Left and Top,  and the window position will be relative to the Offsets values only.
