layering thing

In MMF there was an object called the "layer object" that could do things like, sort all the objects/sprites according to a private variable - so you could make it so that the higher the variable then those objects would appear in front of objects with a lower value.

I tried doing something similar by:

always - start loop "sdf" 100 times

then if sprite variable = the loopindex "sdf", then send to front

but this seems to slow the game down a bit?

Compare the layer the sprite's on, don't use a private variable; considering using families.

Isn't that what 'for each' (ordered) is for?

Arima is right, something like:

+ For each Sprite order by Sprite('var')

-> Sprite: send to front

Then you can use any value you like to arrange the layering, eg. .x + .y, size, speed, anything!

thanks you guys are breathtaking. I thought that for each ordered thing would be useful one day.
