Before anyone says anything..yes I have checked the forums.

I need help to make text appear over a sprite, and I just do not want to make an image for every single piece of text... any ideas? thanks

Without making an image for every text I don't see how you can do it. Text always writes to the background... sprites are always on top of the background. Any text writing on top of a sprite goes right through it to the background.

What text are you trying to write on a sprite? Post some code and i'm sure somebody can find a better way to do it for you (i'll try my best too).

I'm going to do a few experiments and see if I can get it... but don't hold your breath.

Here's a link to a message on the forums:

When I was experimenting it works great if the sprite is holding still and doesn't change images (like in sprite animations). The sprites will still overwrite text if the sprite is moving or cycling through more than one image. :-(

Or, you can use images instead of sprites. cls will keep clearing the screen, and you paste the image beneath the text

Oops.

I forgot where I was at. Yeah the lock/unlock pixels command isn't in Darkbasic Classic. Sven B and Robot are right you should just go with pasting your sprite to the screen, hide the sprite, then write the text.

Don't worry this works in Classic.
