Hi,

Question is fairly simply; how do I print text over sprites.

Thanks for you help,

Lucas

Thanks for your help but I'm afraid I still don't quite understand how that works...

When I tried it at first, the text showed up but all of the sprites disapeared.

When I try repeating the drawing of the sprite rather than the showing of the sprite, it said that the sprite already existed.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

first make sure that



is on the outside of your do loop

then make sure the text is the last thing that printed.

then do a sync.

OR

whenever you do SPRITE, use PASTE SPRITE after it and hide the original sprite. Just make sure the SPRITE and PASTE SPRITE coordinates match . For example, if your sprite number was 1, you might change this:

SPRITE 1,0,0,1

to this:

SPRITE 1,0,0,1
HIDE SPRITE 1
PASTE SPRITE 1,0,0

Of course it would be easier to use a function for that:




Then simply call like this: PasteSprite( 1, 0, 0, 1 )
Where the parameters are the same as the Sprite command.


[edit]

Remember to call the CLS command after you refresh the screen, of course.
