Hi everyone, I'm having an issue here. What layer is the default HUD layers on? Because when I create sprite huds that fill the screen they seem to layer themselves over top of the health and prompt text display.

Figured this would be an issue fixed with:
SetSpriteDepth: SetSpriteDepth ( mySprite , 10 ) (0 is front, 100 is back)

Even setting the sprite to layer 100 does not throw it behind text and weapon and health huds. Is there any work-around for this? Or is there a possibility to bump the text and health huds to the very front of the screen or at least a depth of 50?

Try PasteSprite instead - though you need to call it every frame to keep it visible.

Aye, as smallg said, use PasteSprite, the normal sprites are on fixed layers, by creaing a sprite (off screen) then using a PasteSprite to paste a copy where you want it you can select the layer it displays on.

I'm using that and it seems to be not be working :/


function hud_future_init(e)
sspr0 = CreateSprite(LoadImage("scriptbank\\images\\huds\\001.png"))
SetSpriteDepth ( sspr0,100)
SetSpritePosition(sspr0,0,0)
--PasteSpritePosition(sspr0,0,0)
PasteSprite ( sspr0 )
end
function hud_future_main(e)
end

I've also tried pasting the sprite position in at different depth and text still and huds appear below it.

You need to call a "SetSpritePosition" before you call a "PasteSpritePosition", on startup.
You need to call a "PasteSpritePosition" at least one script cycle after the "SetSpritePosition" is called.
So a "PasteSpritePosition" does not work in the init function.

If you do use a "PasteSpritePosition" in the init function, it "Sets" the sprite to position 0,0
Just the same as it does if you do not call a "SetSpritePosition", on startup.

So using a "PasteSpritePosition" in the main function will layer an image behind the ammo/health hud and prompts.

Thanks so much, have a ton of great hud tests going on and this solves a lot of the issues I was having. Does anyone know what layer depth the Game Guru huds are naturally on? If a set one at all.

(if i a mod would like to move this to scripting, that might be better for those that search old topics)

They're not on the same system as the sprites, the SetSpriteDepth command only really works for moving sprites above/below other self created sprites.
