I'm glad you were helped I just missunderstood your question first^^

Just tell us what you exactly want to do. Because, if you want to do an action, the computer has to know, when he have to do that action. On the start of the layout? If you pressed a key..or just allways(every tick).

Watch this tutorial.

If you still have problems. Post the .cap.

Good luck with your game.

edit: Oh man, you post faster edits than I can blink lol. Hm, I only know, global objects will pass through layouts. Maybe newt has an answer

Dunno what you are doing wrong.

Here my megabasic example for that xD

Don't complain about the graphics <.< I was lazy...

Am I reading right or did you set the position of the sprite2 to the image point, thats also on sprite2? If you have a hero, put the sword, to the heroes image point.

Allways -> Sprite2: set position to object Hero (image point "righthand")

Of course, you have to set that imagepoint at the hero before.

Just put the textobject in an extra layer and set the layer Scroll x rate and scroll y rate to 0.

Click on the layer and the options will appear on the left.

Okay..because the y of my player is greater than the tree (if I am below it)

so I am also greater(higher) than the tree in the sorting order.

Thanks for the explanation .

I don't know, why it works, but it works. Thanks Arima!

I've created a tree. Told the player to be infront of that tree if player.y is greater than the tree.

Set the hotspot down to the treeroots. And the same thing I did for player.y is less.

So the player is behind the object.

Now, I don't want to make for each tree a new sprite. I take the same tree. But of course

that method won't work anymore :/.

I don't want a system like Filmation(like R0J0hound did) lol, it's too complicated. And it's not necessary I think.

Is there a way to use the same tree sprite and being behind both or even between them?(in the y axis)

edit: And please don't tell me to make another layer for it xD

A forest would take too many layers

Maybe this link will help you:

If not, I would stick with Jayjays suggestion

There are 2 downloadable .cap files. I'd prefer the second one.
