Okay... I'm very new to DarkBasic, i have used other langagues before... but not this... alright, so i'm working on my first project in this langauge, as i stumple on a problem, i was trying to use the box command, like this:

+ Code Snippet

      UIX#=UIX#+13.5;
      UIY#=UIY#+10.4;
      if (UIX#>0) then UIX#=0;
      if (UIY#>0) then UIY#=0;
      sprite 6,UIX#,UIY#,6
      sprite 7+Achievement1,UIX#+32,UIY#+32,1;
      show sprite 7+Achievement1;
      hide sprite 8-Achievement1;

      rem Check if there's a mouse over, on any achievement, if so, list the details
      if (mousex()>=UIX#+32 && mousex()<=UIX#+64 && mousey()>=UIY#+32 && mousey()<=UIY#+64)
         box mousex(), mousey(), mousex()+100, mousey()+250, rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0)
      endif

Now... it draws the box.. the only problem is, it's drawn beneath the sprites... so now i'm trying to find a way, to tell Darkbasic, to change the "Layers" and draw it above the sprite, but i can't find any :S

try pasting the sprite to the screen when you need to see it.

+ Code Snippet

PASTE SPRITE Sprite Number, XPos, YPos

i think draw sprites first is what you're looking for.

I personally would do what HowDo said. Make your sprite, hide it, and paste it where you want it

+ Code Snippet

      UIX#=UIX#+13.5;
      UIY#=UIY#+10.4;
      if (UIX#>0) then UIX#=0;
      if (UIY#>0) then UIY#=0;

      sprite 6,0,0,6
      hide sprite 6
      paste sprite 6,UIX#,UIY#

      sprite 7+Achievement1,0,0,1
      hide sprite 7+Achievement1
      Paste Sprite 7+Achievement1,UIX#+32,UIY#+32

      rem I'm not quite sure what you want to do with Sprite 8, but I've done sprites 6 and 7 for you (unless you hide them somewhere else or something...)
      hide sprite 8-Achievement1

      rem Check if there's a mouse over, on any achievement, if so, list the details
      if (mousex()>=UIX#+32 && mousex()<=UIX#+64 && mousey()>=UIY#+32 && mousey()<=UIY#+64)
         box mousex(), mousey(), mousex()+100, mousey()+250, rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0)
      endif
