Does anyone know how to display text via the "Text" command over a sprite? for instance, i made a menu screen out of a sprite for a characters inventory and i would like to display the players gold in the inventory screen, but the text does not display over the sprite unless i set the apha channel of the sprite to a VERY transperant value.

Theres a few ways to do this:

1. Hide the sprite, use paste sprite to display the sprite then display the text over it. With this method you can still check for sprite collisions.

2. Make the text you want to use as an image then make it a sprite with higher priority (or you could make every letter an individual sprite). This is a messy approach however it does allow a great deal of flexibility for you text.

3. Use the command "draw sprites first", everything will be drawn over the sprites. However if you have 3D objects in view I think these are also draw in front of the sprites - might cause a problem.
