How to create 2.5D effect?

Basically I have trees and buildings that you can walk in front of, but I want so when you walk behind them, that they go transparent, but I do not want to have to setup a condition for each individual object, is there an easier way to do what I am attempting? Thanks in advance! -dilk

If they are all one type of object, Sprite for example You can put them all into a family.

How do I do that? Sorry I am newbish with Construct.

Also I have the free version of construct

Alright, so you don't have Families in free version.

What you could do is to simulate families using one Sprite object.

Put all your images into one Sprite - frames or animations, it's up to You.

So you would have one Sprite, let's call it "Objects".

If you go with frames it will look like this

Frame 0 - Tree

Frame 1 - Building

Frame 2 - something else

...

Then in layout editor instead of placing different objects you will place instances of sprite "Objects" with different frames.

I would give you a example capx file, but I'm not at home at the moment.

Maybe someone can make You this one. It's really easy.
