Hey guys!

So how do I get the dump sprite 1-12 to draw in front of sprite 1000? I have a programm with a lot of sprites, and all of the buttons are drawn behind the big sprite.

Does DBC have the set sprite priority command like DBP? It's been a while since I used DBC?

ouch!

it seems in DBC you need to create the sprites in the order of their priority. The last sprites created are on top of previous created sprites.

I would have to look to see whether you can create the sprites, and then just change the image as needed. In this fashion you would have a system that a sprite with a lower number is drawn before sprites with a higher number.

I have run into this problem before. I have used 2 solutions:

1)As zenassem said, create the sprites from back to front

2)Use paste sprite for the big sprite in the back


come to think of it, I believe that their was a DRAW TO FRONT command somewhere, might be what you mean, will look it up later when I have time if no one has posted since this.

Ever notice how in Microsoft word, the word "microsoft" is auto corrected to be "Microsoft" but "macintosh" just gets the dumb red underline?

DRAW TO FRONT is for 2d on top of 3d and DRAW TO BACK is for 3d on top of 2d. Sprites are always on top of everything regardless.

BN2's and zenassem's solutions for priority are the ways to do it.
