This is what I want my game to look, keep in mind Im not a artist, but a programer and the picture is reduced by alot originally 1024 by 768

Preview


The only problem is that the background goes fine, but the crosshair goes under everything but the background image. So when our trying to hit the target the crosshair goes under the target.

How do I fix this problem

Please Help!

Thanks

Try making the crosshair sprite last. Sprites are drawn in the order that they are created.

I never knew that.


Anyway assuming this is DBPro then you can simply use:

SET SPRITE PRIORITY Spr_No, Priority

All sprites have a default priority of 0 (zero). Any sprites given a higher priority are drawn later so in your case just setting the priority for the target sprite to a number higher than 0 should solve it.

Thanks!

I'll try putting them in a different order and Im using DB not DBPro

It sounds alot easier in DbPro

Another question is it worth it to upgrade from DB to DBPro?

Well based purely on using sprites from what I hear they were very very slow in DBc. With DBPro speed certainly isn't a problem......you should be able to have hundreds on screen at any time with no problems.

The only real drawback with DBPro's sprites, and it's a cosiderable one, is there is no decent built-in collision system.

Of course the 3D side is also vastly improved but this does mean your games may not run on older PC's and also require DX9.
