Comrades, I need help! How to make sprite 1 on top other sprite 2? Hierarchy.

Layer atop sprite?

How to use layer WINDOWS?

Your image links are broken.

You need to change the link field between sprites. There's no way to do this in BEX, so you'll need to find a solution in ASM, or you can try using propsprite on the 2 sprites and you may end up with one over the other.

The window layer is a non-scrollable plane, and also overwrites plane b when displayed.

Oh, also, to use the window plane, you just need to set where it's aligned (top, bottom, left, or right) and set the plane dimensions. I'm not at the computer right now, so I can't give a sample code, but if you still need some help, let me know.

I need make HUD layer atop sprite. B and A plane (tiles line 320x16) atop sprite. It's not Window, as has understood.

Here so:

Here's an example of how to make a HUD on top and overlap sprites:

SetGfxPlane Scroll_B
For y = 0 To 8
For x = 0 To 63
DrawTile 1,x,y
Next
Next
Palettes Pal,1,0,16
WindowProp Left,Up,0,5
SetGfxPlane Window
For y = 0 To 4
For x = 0 To 39 Step 2
DrawTile 2+Priority(1),x,y
Next
Next

spr = AddSprite(1,1)
PropSprite spr,3,1
MoveSprite spr,200,200
SetScrollPlane Scroll_B
While 1
j = JoyPad(0)
ShiftSprite spr,j.3-j.2, j.1-j.0
Scroll Left,1
Sleep 1
Wend



Pal:
DataInt $0000,$000C


You can move the sprite around on screen.

Here so:

Yes, I'm using WINDOW here. HUD background can't be color 0. And all tiles are set high priority, including the black ones.

[Deleted]

You can use color/tile 0 in the window plane, but anything transparent will show through to plane b (or sprites if they float under it). The Window plane overwrites Plane A, but not Plane B, so it acts almost like a "static Plane A"

BTW, your game is looking great, Landeel!

[tiberiyltim]

I did not know about "+Priority(1)". Thanks!

I gotta ask - what's with the photo realistic backgrounds? To me, it looks like a horrible contrast between the sprite work and the backgrounds.
