How do I walk around objects?

Hey there,

everything fine so far, but I cant figure out one thing. I have on layer that I walk my Character around by Mouse ( it's a Point'n'Click Adventuer ). Sometimes there are objects the Character can walk around. e.g. the Character can be behind or in front of that Object.

How do I get the correct drawing order of those Sprites?

Thanks in advance,

Do you mean to have one sprite over another?

Just change the Z-Order, either in the layout or the event sheet.

No I mean for example I have a room with a table in it, and the character is able to walk around that table. Is there any way to get such an effect? I can't figure it out.

Could you post a capx?

I think what you want is pathfinding! scirra.com/tutorials/474/pathfinding-with- line-of-sight and scirra.com/manual/154/pathfinding should help!

I've been using RexRainbow's Zsorter. It can sort everything on the layer every tick. I don't imagine it's the most efficient way to solve the problem, but it means that when the player is below an object, that object is behind of the object, and when the player is above, the object is in front. This allows the player to walk behind various objects.

Is this what you were asking?

Yes the Z-Sorting by Y coordinate looks correctly. Thanks bladedpenguin

ChefSeth No the Pathfinding itself is not a Problem, it's the drawing order of the Objects in the Same Layer while a Character walks "around" it .
