I've been having abit of a problem with some code i've been writing....

text will not overlay a sprite unless its a sprite image itself

also now I've found out the sprite with the highest number will always overlay the lower number sprite,... this causes me a few problems to say the least..

I was wondering is there a way to fix these problems?

Oh and btw sprite collision only happens with the current sprite(targeter) and the topmost sprite of a stack if you have a stack.

Its a bug http://developer.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=20670&b=15
To get correct collision you need to test for collision twice, once with one sprite as the target and the second time with the second sprite as the target. If both tests show a collision then there is a collision.

I think you can change the draw order of the sprites using SET SPRITE PRIORITY. I think the info in the dbpro helpfile may be slightly incorrect and I am not sure if SET SPRITE PRIORITY works properly.

The way I avoid the probelms is to avoid sprites. Use images and paste image, them you can draw the sprites in the order you want, overlay text and use your own accurite collision.

Can I scream?

@ the winch If I use images..which would be fine how would I get a transparency map on them.?

btw I'm using db classic.. so I'm not even sure theres a set sprite priority function.

If you want a scoreboard onscreen then you could put a border around the screen where sprites can't go. That's what I've done with my game.
