Showing player in the front,and back of an enemy?

Trying to make a beat em up game, how do I show the player when it is in front of the enemy,

How do I cover the player when it is behind an enemy?

Or show an example of multiple enemies at once some behind the player, some in the back, I really need

help with this.

To put something in front or back or just to trick a sense of depth in 2D you would use Layers.

Or you could play around with the Z-Depth if they were on the same layer.

I.e. When player in front of enemy -> Send player sprite to front of layer

When player behind enemy -> Send enemy sprite to front of layer

Or you could play around with the Z-Depth if they were on the same layer.

I.e. When player in front of enemy -> Send player sprite to front of layer

When player behind enemy -> Send enemy sprite to front of layer

I tried doing something like that but it didn't seem to read correctly.

EXAMPLE:

Every tick_Player.Y>Enemy.Y_Move to bottom layer,

Every tick_Player.Y<Enemy.Y_Move to top layer.

What am I doing wrong?

Try to use "System - Compare two values", CurioJoe.

Should work perfectly.

Thanks, I figured it out.
