How do I make player in front and behind multiple obstacles

I want to make simple isometric game.

When player is behind object (its.y<obstacle.y) it should be behind it:

When player is in front of a object (its.y>obstacle.y) it should be in front of it:

I've made simple code to achieve this:

but this works only for one obstacle. When there's more obstacles it doesn't work.

It works like this (please open in new window):

CAPX:

Any ideas why and how to fix this?

Change the "for each obstacle" to "for each obstacle ordered by obstacle.zindex ascending"

Tried this:

and this:

Unfortunately this didn't fix the problem.

why not only set the z-order when needed instead of going through all objects every tick?

"on collision" should probably work, but you could ofcourse use "is overlapping"

I've tried this also. Didn't work for obstacles that are close each other.

With this code:

(I had to add additional object (playerOverlap) that is players bounding box)

I get this result:

you wouldn't need a for each there, it probably does more harm than good in this case..

LittleStain - this makes no difference in this case. In both ways I'm not getting the result that I need.

Please don't get me wrong - I'm grateful for your answers. I had also many theoretical solutions but they didn't work in this case.

Could you open my CAPX and try to modify it so it works?

Again - I'm not lazy and I don't want you to make work for me but theoretical solutions (that I had many) failed in this scenario.

I would like an answer too, I've tried the same way you does and I never found the solution. I used 2 sprite , one for the top and one for the bot but it's a lot of work with all sprite. I really would like an answear too to this topic

Have a look if that is what you want:

The pick all is needed that you have not the problem that if you between two tiles, left and right, to stuck under one and above the other.

But the problem with this is, is the next tile, up or down, to close to you, you will be above or under both tiles

This works for me:
