Trouble with the layers
I am making a project called "DRIVE" which is a shooter- My problem is that my sprites all can move up and down and have a possibility of overlapping- currently i have no way of layering my sprites and the overlap of a sprite that is higher than another sprite could ruin the 3d illusion
PLEASE HELP

Re: Trouble with the layers
Yes, as Coolstuff said, the looks blocks (at the very bottom of the list) can be used to control layering.
In the picture above, I have added variables to monitor the layer of a sprite.
I hope this helps!

I know about those- but I'm trying to combine them with "forever if", so I cannot fathom a way to keep the layers in check without resseting the layers every time- which would look bad.

You mean something like a "go to layer x?"

You can always "go to front" and then "go back x layers."
It could get a *little* choppy, but it's the best you can do.
