How do I make a walking around an object effect?

Hi, hope you're all fine. So, i want to create the effect in this capx without having to cut the sprite in half as it is in the file, is it possible?

Thanks in advance!

It's your second post with the same question and I still don't understand what you mean. Why do you need to cut the tree in half?

If you want to walk "behind" it, simply change z-order (move character behind the tree or to the bottom of the layer).

Check out this capx, it may be relevant:

Hi! Thanks for replying! I now understand how I can make what I want, as in your capx, I just needed to compare the object Y with the player Y, an so I get the desired result:

As you can see, I added the object to a family because I want this behavior to be repeated for every single tree instance my player cross, but now it does not seem to work, sometimes the player gets behind the trunk or in front of the leaves when the opposite should happen:

Here's the capx in case anyone needs it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LcAJNk3YTVaN0bRPM9jwT2A9dHSEbkKS

What should I do to solve the problem?

Thanks.

Try z-sorting the trunks as it's done in my example, and move all leaves to another layer, which is above the layer with trunks and player.

Hi, so, I tried to delete my events and copy paste yours into my capx, just to see if the problem would be solved (the only thing I changed was the "repeat 100 times" to "repeat 5 times" since my sprites are way bigger and occupy more space on the screen), and... Apparently, it did not, at least not completely; as you can see in the video, it only works for the instances that are higher on the screen, the instance that is lower down does not behave the same way (trunk in front of the player when it shouldn't be), I have some questions:

Why did you use this "for each ordered" condition? I read some tutorials and the manual entry for this condition but I couldn't fully understand it in the specific context I'm facing here.

Why did you use the "pick bottom instance"?

Why "wait 0 seconds"?

Thanks.

Note that in my capx the origin image point of the trees and player sprites is at the bottom. Also, it doesn't look like you separated trunks from the leaves, like I suggested in my previous comment.

"Wait 0" is needed, because we have to wait 1 tick for the trees to be created, before sorting them.

"For each ordered" because we need to cycle through all trees sorted from top to bottom.

If all this doesn't help, please share your capx file.

Hi! Hope you're fine.

So, I think the problem is solved! Here's what I did:

Event sheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RytVFQcr2WzHi55zN32lPd7IYF0Q_lW4/view?usp=sharing

Layout: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fG7O97o0GIXgNuGSS6JWLCFcyxG4VaDf/view?usp=sharing

As I said in my previous post, your solution was working almost completely, the only drawback was that the instance lower down on the layout wasn't behaving like the others, so I thought I could just put the top part of an instance inside the layout and let its Y coordinate outside of it to see what would happen, and it worked fine:

Now I just need to make that specific bottom instance invisible and it's all good.

I'm still trying to understand how to solve it with events only, without needing to go for this out of layout instance thing, but it works and I'm satisfied with the result.

Thank you so much for helping me! Have a good day!
